I'm growing a kumquat indoors (I live in Rhode Island), and it has 20 or so fruit on it but i don't know a lot of things about growing citrus. Does anyone know what fertilizer to use? Any other advice regarding the propagation of citrus trees would be welcome.

Up on the blue bar there is a tab for "Search", and in the drop-down menu is "advanced search". Click on that, and then on the left under the "Key words" box, change "Search Entire Posts" to "Search Titles Only". Now type Citrus into the Keywords box and hit return or press the Search Now button.

The best fertilizers are usually in liquid shape, like NPK (Natrium-phosphor-potassium) like 8-5-7. You can buy it at any garden center.
Greets, Edi.

P.S. I'm sorry for entering a double topic

No form of fertilizer is necessarily best for plants. It all depends on the contents. In terms of "cost effective", liquids do not rank very high.

That is correct, BUT: liquid gets trought soil and gets to roots. Some round balls can be deadly to plant beacause if you put close to the plant you can 'burn' it.

Great!
Thanks for supporting.
Maybe we should have 2 threads? Or is it too much?

What sort is you orange? I have Washington Navel for 2 years and now she is blooming. I'll keep pics coming.

Red face Re: Citrus
Oh sorry about that! I missed what you asked. The damn phone is always ringing.


Mine is a Calamondin orange tree. It's actually grafted so it stays small and suitable for a pot. It lives in a south window and I fertilize it regularly because it blooms perpetually.

I think you'd get better answers to questions if you posted them in the original citrus thread where more citrus growers are following it. I've got over 20 trees but, sorry, don't have any photos uploaded right now. Too busy with tomatoes and other things.

Smile Re: Citrus
Not yet but I will soon. Kumquats are one of my favorites. I like keylime also.


Feel free to post wherever you like, Alias. People will see your posts regardless and lots of people know about citrus growing. Frankly, anyone can grow them with the right environment. It's not difficult.

Well, some people have considerable experience with citrus, you'll know where to find us. I'm glad I don't have to resort to growing citrus indoors, that would suck. I picked about 900 pounds of citrus so far this year and can't imagine doing that from my windowsill. Good luck.

It's not something I 'resort' to...it's something I enjoy. I've grown many citrus plants outside. They are simply easy and fun to grow!


A picture says a thousand words and yours are terrific, Alias. You don't look like you need much instruction.

Non-synthetic granular fertilizers have the same property over time. Synthetic and non-synthetic water-soluble fertilizers have the same property and are more cost effective and typically contain a better spectrum of nutrients.
