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 it’s 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 rain water 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
  • Feeding regularly between March and October with Westland Citrus Feed will promote active growth and fruit production

Tips for Better Results

  • Keep plants in a min temp of 10°C
  • During winter keep the plants in a cool, frost free place
  • In summer move plants outside as soon as the risk of frost has passed
  • Do not place in direct sunlight for the first 3 weeks

 

General Advice

  • Store in a dry frost free place away from weedkillers and other gardening chemicals
  • Reseal bag after use
  • Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust
  • Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use
