How To Use

Potting On

Citrus trees are best potted on in the Spring before they start active growth but they can be potted on any time during the summer. 

• Choose a pot larger than the old one, ensuring it has adequate drainage holes
• Cover the base of the pot with crocks to ensure good drainage
• Place a layer of potting mix in the bottom of the pot and gently tap the old plant from its pot
• Fill in around the edges with more Citrus Potting Mix ensuring the top feeder roots are covered with 2cm of fresh potting mix
• Water well and keep in light shade for a few weeks to allow roots to grow

Watering

• Water thoroughly when required using rainwater where possible
• Do not allow plant to stand in water
• Spraying the plants daily with water will keep them cool and encourage pollination of flowers

Feeding

• Citrus plants are hungry plants and require regular feeding during the growing season
  
• Westland Citrus Potting Mix will supply your plants with all the nutrients they need for the first 6 weeks
