Repotting Citrus Trees - Citrus Tree Soil
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ค. 2024
- My Citrus Trees grown from seed are now over 33 months old and it's time to get these citrus trees grown in containers into BIGGER Pots!
They were sown from seed on 6/11/17.
In this update, I will be repotting the orange trees (as well as the lemon trees - but not shown) into 5 gallon pots up from the 2 gallon pots they are currently in. I am mainly repotting them for a few reasons:
1) They are requiring more frequent waterings due to the pots being too small
2) The root system needs more space to branch out
3) The Texas heat (100 degrees plus) is coming soon and we don't want the pots (or roots) to overheat.
Some info for the care of container-grown citrus plants:
- Be sure you plants get 8-12 hours of direct sunlight (not blistering sun, but good sun)
- Make sure the pot/container is well draining
- Be sure to not let the soil dry out. Moist soil is better than not moist.
- Supplement 2X per year with a slow release fertilizer (citrus is a heavy feeder)
- You can use Neem Oil to treat pests like spider mites, or rubbing alcohol on mealy bugs/worms.
- Citrus grown from seed takes 3-5 years minimum to flower, and sometimes it never does.
I hope you'll enjoy both of my Citrus series'. Here's the Orange and Lemon series links:
• Citrus Trees (Oranges)...
• Citrus Trees (Lemons) ...
Some Citrus Seedling Care Info:
Citrus Trees like slightly acidic soil (5.5-6.5 PH) and it needs to be well draining soil full of sand, moss and perlite. They should be kept in warmer conditions while they are seedlings (75-85 degrees) and water them infrequently, but heavily - allowing all the water to drain from the pot, keeping it moist only.

Hey Rob Do another Update on Your Citrus Trees ...
Can't wait to see your warmth still moving things in and out where we are.
When I repot to a larger container I cut an X in the bottom and 5 or 6 vertical cuts. Roots that are growing circular will continue to grow circular. Good info on the soil👍.
Like number one my friend 👍😊
Thank you John Travolter!
Thank you so much for the regular updates - so helpful!
Hi.Thanks for doing this video.I really needed help with my 3 citrus trees.
Those citrus trees look good and health there rob and that was a good video clip you dun there. 👍 👍 🌱 🌱
They’re looking great.
I have started some lemon seed and an avocado seed both according to your videos which have really helped me start gardening this year!!
Very nice update
Great video Rob, keep up the great work buddy
Hi Rob.
Hope you are well. How about an update on your lovely citrus trees.
Give em room to spread their wings!! Woooo!! Can't wait to see fruit on them in the future!!
Hi I love your channel I have started my own seeds.
I'd Love to Hear new Citrus Update Rob Thanks in Advance..
He's killed them, that's why he's not doing an update. (My guess)
Nice!!! Might get some but harder to grow in central NC.
Very nice. I wish I could grow citrus trees up here in Washington State. Maybe if I add a 4th greenhouse.....
Q little tip for your trees if they get flowers for fruit take a lot of them off only let 4 or 5 grow or it will stress your tree and it will suffer next year but don't pick all of them off for a little stress remindes them for next year if you pick all of them the next time it fruits I will explode and will cause damage for years to come. Sorry for long text just little tip so you know what can happen if you let it do its thing a little to much lol anyway have a good day im injoying the videos
What is your thought about adding a layer of small pebbles on the bottom of the pot for drainage? Also do you ever prop the pots up on bricks (or wheels for a wine barrel) to help aeration and drainage. Thanks for your great video.
Hey Rob I'm in Texas and I wonder how your trees are doing as of late new supporter want to start growing myself any pictures you can post till the next video of them
Hi Thanks for the video. I have a healthy orange tree which was grown from seed. The tree is 8 years old but no blossom/fruit. What should I do? Wait more or cut it out? Thanks.
Anything new? I hope you're doing well in your neck of the woods.
Hi Rob. From starting from seed till now how often did you fertilize your lemons?
Are you planning on keeping them in full sun these next few weeks? Not sure if I should move my grafted citrus in a semi shady area for when it’s 97 here next week 🤔
Hi rob I purchase a grafted lemon tree from Bangladesh last year this year it has flowered for me, I haven't done my update on my channel yet, but all 19 flowers open for me but they are all male flower no stigma in the flowers at all, I did my research and found out that the tree hasent mesourd yet now I have to wait for the second cycle of flowers again to see if the flowers have stigma in them, am also growing citrus siam ruby Pomelo in the UK it flowered for me this year out of 13 flowers only one still on the plant hopefully the fruit sets for me, nice advice how to repot a citrus plant👍
Also can you combine the lemon and orange playlists together to be a citrus series
Hey, I have that same hockey net.
Did I miss the brand of soil You used? Thanks
Any update on the saplings? What variety they are yet?
I never knew Dennis Miller was bald. This is the only time he has ever made me laugh.
I heard you can graft them to make them fruit faster .
Hey, are you considering an update video this year? thanks :)
According to the video title these have been very naught citrus to need reporting! 🙈🤣
what's the brand of potting soil?
Do you give them blood meal or bone meal
Can I trim or prune a ltitle? Thanks jim80
What was the phosphorus amendment?
What is the name of the soil your using with all those goodies I n it I would like to purchase some my lemon tree needs to be repotted thanks in advance
Hey brother. Don’t know if anyone knows the answer to this. Got a lemon tree. One branch’s leaves have fell off. Should I cut the branch? Sorry if this is a dumb question but im new to this.
So I just bought a Eureka lemon tree from Home Depot, its about 3 ft tall. Our weather is in the 98°F to 101°F Do I avoid repotting or planting on the ground until our summer is over? This weather lasts until Mid September. I live close to Palm Springs.
Now would be a good time of year to plant it in the ground
Can you work on ur mango and pear series sorry I am too eager
The new small leaves in my lemon tree have black tips, can anyone help?
I have a question: I planted a mango seed and did everything I saw in your “tutorial”. the tree itself is now 3 inches tall and is now in a pot. but in my pot, i noticed small, greyish worms moving around. is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
www.hunker.com/12000542/how-to-kill-the-little-white-worms-in-houseplant-pots Hopefully this helps
Sami Sam thanks 🙏🏼
Wow! Citrus! No silver? :)
what soil should I use
I have 4 lemon trees that are a year old. I was just wondering if does any one pinch them?
You can pinch them if you want them to focus on width instead of height, it’ll get bushier . I started my lemon tree two nearly three months ago , it’s been in my windowsill but it still only has two leaves , 🌱 it looks like this and it’s 1,5-2 inches, what am I doing wrong? It’s not in citrus soil. It was in cocopeat for 2 months and I recently put it in regular potting mix, gave it general fertilizer. It stays green but no growth, help.
hey rob where do you get your pennies and halfs all my banks are closed
LOL WRONG CHANNEL
I live in Las Vegas I paint my pots white.
Is there any particular reason you keep them in the Pots? Why not grow in the ground? Thank you
D. J. I think it is because of the climate he lives in. too many cold days
We can grow almost anything here in zone 9b
Bigger pot
268
From what i have read,
You may introduce ethylene gas to the tree to help trigger/force flowering.
Usually, ripe apples, bananas can give off this gas.
Look into the plant hormone florigen.
I think sold in a spray.
I want to add long as you don't cut roots back more than 25% you can maintain the tree in one pot.
you're gonna want to switch to all organic. including pots.
FIRST!
Thanks Jonas! :)
But why are you reporting them? Snitches get stitches you know. 😉
Your video title has a spelling error
But aren't these trees big enough to be put in the ground?
Not every climate is suitable for these trees
