    Thank you for the straight forward, straight-to-the- point explanation for fertilizing. Typically, I get dizzy from all the hype and that is why I liked when you advised not to buy into it. Also, thank you for sharing the type of slow release fertilizer you are using. Your demonstration fed my thirst for visualization and will hopefully help my little lemon trees😊🍋

    Osmocote has to be the most economical fertilizer there is. You actually are using one with a really good ratio. 3-1-2 is perfect.

    I’ve got a couple young lemon and Orange trees….and they’ve already got tonnns of tiny buds, should I prune those off or let them fall off….there’s no way my tree is strong enough to support all those fruits so I figured I could redirect energy to root or maybe a few buds I keep. What do u think?

    Hi QCTropicals, I have a lemon tree in 10 G pot for 6 years, grown well with large and many green leaves, but no flowers and lemons. I fertilizer regularly, but not on any schedule, any suggestions to make it fruits? thanks.

      fruits will easily drop on young trees. How old is your tree and is there a lot of wind in your area?

    What's the best container a tall container or short and wide. Does it make a difference?

    • @qctropicals
      @qctropicals  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Taller containers are better. They allow the roots to go down. Short containers, roots tend to grow out the drainage holes a lot sooner than taller.

    What about trace elements ( micro nutrients)

    • @qctropicals
      @qctropicals  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      There are chelated micronutrients in the fertilizer we use. Even if there wasn't, it would take years before they became deficient. Most of these plants will be planted in the ground before them. Also, bugs get in the potting mix, crickets, rolley pollies, etc. Their poop has trace minerals :).

    • @qctropicals
      @qctropicals  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      if using instant release fertilizers, very slow amounts usually every 2-3 months during the growing season. Or better yet, 1/10 the recommended dosage, monthly.

    This is so typical. This particular gardener claims this one fertilizer is great. But this is not good for every plant, and those numbers are important, and someone selling plants doesn't feel the private issues plants have in their home's. Etc. I wish I didn't have to wait to the very last two minutes to hear his point

    • @qctropicals

      Import the fruits?. We import most of our produce simply because it's cheaper to grow it in other countries in the quantities we need. System in the U.S. is not farmer friendly if you didn't know.
