Best Use & Repotting Guide
- When to Repot: The best time to repot your citrus tree is in the spring, just as the plant enters its active growth phase, before flowering begins.
- Selecting a Pot: Choose a container that is only 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) larger in diameter than the current pot. Ensure the new pot has ample drainage holes at the base.
- Step-by-Step Application:
- Place a thin layer of the Citrus Focus Repotting Mix at the bottom of the new pot.
- Gently ease the tree out of its old container, taking care not to disturb the healthy root ball excessively.
- Position the tree in the centre of the new pot, ensuring it sits at the same soil depth as it did previously.
- Fill the gaps around the sides with fresh mix, tapping the pot gently to settle the substrate. Lightly firm the top with your fingers.
- Water thoroughly until water drains freely from the bottom, then place the pot in a bright, sunny position.
- Pro Care Tip: While this mix contains a starter charge of organic nutrients, citrus trees are heavy feeders. Begin supplementary feeding with a liquid fertiliser, like Citrus Focus, 4 to 6 weeks after repotting to maintain vibrant growth and abundant fruit.
