Dwarf Calamondin: 3 Questions.
Published (2009-12-12 21:56:00)
Question 1). Depends on the environment you provide. If the tree received adequate light and heat you can fertilize year around. In door grown containerized tree, you can fertilize at 1/2 strength during the winter and full strength spring, summer and fall. Question 2) The absolutely best fertilizer formula has a 5-1-3 ratio W/trace minerals, such as a 25-5-15 W/trace minerals. However, this formula is difficult to find. Otherwise, a...

The temp seems to be around 70f. It's winter weather here now and it can't get much sun now that a building went up litterally 2 metres from my only good sunning window, so my calamondin either only gets diffused light or direct afternoon light for about 2 hours tops(if it's sunny)There about 30 leaves onthis little tree and most of them aren't very big, and yes by buds I mean flower buds/blossoms. I try not to over water...

Hi my dad has kidney stones really bad and is buying lemons from the store for their lemon juice. He saw a seed and is taking them out for me and I washed them off in spring water and Im going to try to grow them simply because I can. Does anyone have any tips? I did the floating or sinking test and one floated and one sunk. The one that floated is almost flat and doesint look like its going to do anything but Im still going to plant it. The...

How often to soak CHC?
Published (2009-12-10 20:57:00)
Hello, First of all, thanks to all of the knowledgable people on this forum - it's made growing my semi-dwarfed Bearss lime so much easier knowing I have somwehere to turn for advice. While I initially made the mistake of repotting my tree into MiracleGro Citrus mix (quelle horreur!), I have since repotted into a 4:1 mix of CHC, as suggested here. It was soaked and very moist when I repotted, and what a difference it makes for drainage!...

Dwarf Meyer Lemons falling off
Published (2009-12-10 20:57:00)
I have been hand fertilizing the Meyer Lemon flowers for the past several weeks. Several have set fruit and appear to be doing well. However, I noticed several new flowers were incomplete with the center portion completely missing. Any ideas on what could be causing this or is this normal for Meyer Lemons?

Dwarf Calamondin: 3 Questions.
Published (2009-12-11 12:34:00)
Hey! Thanks for all the help on my last question for those of you that did help. Especially Millet! I have a couple more questions about my Dwarf Calamondin tree... 1. How often should I fertilize in the winter? How bout other seasons? 2. What type of fertilizer should I use? 3. One or two of the leaves on my tree have yellow veins, with the rest of the leaf all green. Is this a sign of anything? If so, how can I fix it? 4. My tree is a lot...

When you say the tree is getting 20 buds, do you mean flower buds? How many leaves are still on the tree? What is the temperature of the root zone? NOTE: The root zone will be colder than the temperature as the room due to evaporation from the surface of the medium. With these questions answered we should be able to help the tree. - Millet (1,132-)

You are probably doing nothing wrong. Of all the blooms that a citrus tree produces, only about 2 to 5 percent of the flowers will ever set fruit. Of the small fruitlets that originally set, only about 1 to 3 percent of them will remain on the tree, the rest are discarded. A citrus tree will only retain the number of fruit that the tree is capable to bring to maturity. As the tree grows larger,...

Plant the seed 1/2 inch deep in any good potting soil, keeping it moist but not wet. If maintain at a temperature of 90F (32C), germination should be 18 to 21 days. If you CAREFULLY peel off the testa (outer hard cover) the seed will germinate in approximately one week. - Millet (1,137-)

There is noting wrong with your tangerine (mandarin) tree. A citrus tree does not begin to produce quality sweet fruit until it is at least 5+ years old. In California a young citrus tree needs to be fertilized 6 times a year, equally spaced out, starting the 1st of March, until the 1st of September. The usual fertilizer formula used on young trees is either a 6-6-6 or an 8-8-8. Do not use a ...

First, to your concern about the discarded small fruitlets. All citrus trees, including your Persian Lime, (also known as Tahiti lime or Bearss lime), produces many times more blooms, than will ever set fruit. Normally only about 3- 5 percent of the flowers actually set fruit, and only about 1 to 3 percent of the original fruitlets remain on the tree until maturity, the rest are discarded. A ...

CHC stands for Coconut Husk Chips. CHC is available in 1/4, 1/2 and 1 inch sizes. Coconut Husk chips hold up to 7 times their weight in water, while still providing optimum aeration for the root zone.. A popular mix for citrus is 4 parts CHC to 1 part peat moss, a 3:1 blend is another popular mix. The white fuzzy insect is most likely Mealy Bug. You can control this insect by using a small ...

I'm new to growing plants. I'm mainly in this for cooking as that is my main hobby (and the herbs I'm growing seem to liven up my place a bit). I make a lot of Asian & Indian food and I want to grow a small Kaffir Lime tree in my apartment. There is not a lot of light and it gets really hot in here in the summer time. So, I'm asking those of you that know best, is a Kaffir Lime tree going to...

There will be no need for worry, even if they do cross pollinate. It is not the fruit produced by either tree that would be the hybrid, it is the seeds within the fruit that are the hybrid. Your grapefruit will always keep producing true fruit, and the lemon will always keep producing true lemons. To obtain the hybrid from any cross pollination, you would have to extract the seeds from your ...
