I’m in tropical northern Australia so we are heading to a very hot summer. My potted lime is full of leaf but no flowers so what do you recommend please? Great tips👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌻
hot summer or winter? Lime will bloom in the spring. Container plants tend to lose their flowers/fruits very easily. I recommend to automate your watering system so your container never goes dry. Sun and plenty of heat, that's about it.
Thank you for educating me,last year my valecia orange flowered for the seconr time but dropped all fruit just like the first time, then I neglected it to a point of yellowinng and dropping lthose yellow leaves, as winter ended I ammended the soil pH and added manure and watered and within a week the tree is giving new leaves and flowers , I was so confused as to follow what I learned in the past ( which was a failure of cos) or not. Then this video, Iam sorted
My Fukushu Kumquat fruited for the 1st time last year. Big tasty fruit. My only complaint was that each fruit had about 10 seeds in it. Alan, is that normal for this specific variety of Kumquat?
i use down to earth citrus mix for all my citrus. every citrus tree seems to be happy, except a shiranui tree that refuses to grow. i also foliar feed right before the trees start flushing growth. here in so cal that would be late january/early february
I make DIY compost & throw household urine thru it & use on my citrus tree & veggies. Chicken poo is also a great fertiliser for the citrus & everything else too!

I love the breakdown of just toss it on top, let the bugs do their thing and just keep watering. Simple, no mixing with the dirt, it will find its way to the roots. Awesome Video.
I have Osmocote and just fertilized both meyer lemon trees in containers. Both have fruited, when is the best time to plant in the trees in the ground, I was given wrong info about fertilizing. Thank you so much, you answered all my questions, so easy.
Thanks for the educational video Alan. Are you able to do a gardening video on the Peanut Butter tree or plant ? I heard it tastes like peanut butter.. Thank you.
I have a lisbon lemon that Has been in the ground for about 2 and a half years and seems to have stalled. It's not pushing any new growth but not dying back ether. Not sure if I should dig it up or leave it.
citrus needs direct sun light to grow. Also at 2.5 years you should be deep watering. Don't pull it as that would reset the time it will take to root itself in the ground again.
@QCTropicals it gets all day sun. And deep watering. I got it from home depot so I'm not sure if it the issue of not being able to absorb all the necessary nutrients. The first year it grew fast but as it reached the native soil it stopped.
@qctropicals south Mississippi 8b it got down to 18° this passed Dec for 5 nights and I have 3 orange trees that were also covered with plastic. There leafing out again but a lot of die back
@qctropicals this was there 3rd year in ground and never usually gets that cold, plenty of people have them in my area, my neighbor has 3 and his are he said 10yrs old and they also took some damage and my mother has an owar Satsuma and she's 30mins north and hers did just fine. It was just a really weird winter but there bouncing back. Thanks
I like your honesty and straight forward information, God bless you.
Thank you for a very informative video. I’ll be fertilizing my citrus in containers with osmocote.. more blessings to you
any slow release works, that one is just what I use.
Thank you this is very helpful 😊
Thanks again for your clear and expert info.

I’m new in your channel and I’m growing citrus in containers also I live in Florida. My question is how often I need to fertilize my citrus plants
if you use a slow release fertilizer like I do. In pots, I fertilize once a season usually in the spring once I see new growth on the plants.
Hi could you please send me the name of the fertilizer thank you sooo much
It's in the description friend, osmocote all purpose slow release
i use down to earth citrus mix for all my citrus. every citrus tree seems to be happy, except a shiranui tree that refuses to grow. i also foliar feed right before the trees start flushing growth. here in so cal that would be late january/early february
your trees are happy because of you and how you take care of them :)
How can I send you a pic of my lemon tree. I don't have Facebook or Instagram nor messenger.
❤❤❤

Amen!! Yes, he is!!🙏🙏🙏
@@dereidabrown1180 I can't wait!!!! God bless you!!! 🙏♥️💯🙌👏🙌👏
Can that same fertilizer work for cherries? Figs? Any fruit it would not be good for???
My citus produce new growth in oct. It is grown in the ground. Do we need to feed fertilizers? It will go into winter and harvest time.
wonder how you'd go selling australian native finger limes
Thanks for sharing your wisdom

yes, I don't know where the "myth" is mixing the stuff in the dirt started... I guess people who don't know how plants eat would buy into that.

A total desaster your citrus trees ! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the educational video Alan.
Are you able to do a gardening video on the Peanut Butter tree or plant ? I heard it tastes like peanut butter..
Thank you.
it does taste like peanut but and it surprisingly takes full blasting 120f sun. I'll make a vid when I plant mine in the ground.
@@qctropicals awesome!
Thank you !
Can you fertilize now or should I wait until the spring time for next year
if you haven't already, I would. Best time to fertilize is when plants are growing.
@@qctropicals ok thanks you and for how long should I fertilize for until fall and how many times should I fertilize for
I have a lisbon lemon that

@@RainbowWarriorChris 18 is pretty cold. You will probably need to greenhouse them.
