This has been one of the most informative videos on this subject that I have seen . thank you so much and I will follow you & recomend you to all my friends & family.
Thank you for your very informative video. We just bought our first mercott honey tangerine tree, and we will keep it on our patio during the end of the summer and then bring it in for the winter and then put it back out for spring. We learned a lot just from your video on how to properly care for her. 🍊☀️ thanks so much.
I have a Meyer lemon in Canada and it has some yellow leaves now. Do you know if I should fertilize it if it is blooming? Also, my Meyer lemon may have root rot from over watering?
@underated17 If you think there is root rot, you can repot it to a soil that has better drainage and clean up any roots that are rotted. You could fertilize it at the same time with a balanced fertilizer. If the leaves don't green up, try adding some Cal Mag Bloom City Cal Mag Plant Supplement with Micronutrients - Concentrated Calcium Fertilizer for Garden & Hydroponics - Calmag for Plants, Quart (32 oz) a.co/d/ac9RTlX
neem seed meal effectively eliminated my fungus gnat problems. Neem seed oil didn't seem to have a very big effect, but the seed meal had dramatic results within 3 days of application.
@@gardenwiseadventuresForget about those wimpy lights, LOL. Get a ceramic metal halide light which is 315 watts. I have two bulbs in my lamp which is a total of 630 watts and it pumps out some serious light! The lamp is very efficient and is the perfect grow lamp.
Thank you for the great video. I’ve had my citrus trees for 3 years and have struggled to keep them alive in the winter. And they keep getting root rot. I will be changing the soil mixture. Can’t wait to try your tips.
Great advice! Thank you. I started a Myer lemon/lime _bush_ maybe 6 weeks ago, and it's doing okay, and is now having good new growth, but I am seeing a bit of yellowing in the newer leaves. I'm going to try a little extra nitrogen. I too, am using MaxiGro, but I cautiously used the least recommended. I also up-potted the bush, and that's when the new growth really took off, and the yellowing started. I was suspecting nitrogen deficiency, but feel confident in it now. The bush was shipped, and I noticed they had added some granule fertilizer, and I just didn't wanna do too much, too quickly, as this is my first citrus. I'll add some Cal-Mag, too. 👍 A new subscriber.
I use clay pots for better rots and i don't have a schedule for wateting...just let them drink when they get thirsty. The pine bark it an excellent solution for soil mix and mulching. I wish you all the best for you and your citrus ! 🥰
Thank you for such great information! I have a lemon tree that I started two years ago from a supermarket seed. Outside it was ravaged by Chipmunks several times, but has survived Nature's pruning!😅 I read that you should prune the interior of the plant to keep it an open habit, but didn't hear you mention this. So I would be interested on how you feel about that! What prompted me to do more research this morning was that my lemon tree needs to be reported and all I have is Orchid mix. And it seems from listening to your information, that I can indeed use this since it is a free draining mix? I have written down the fertilizers you use. And can't wait to start feeding mine properly! Love you using liquid seaweed outside, and have hesitated using it inside! But will incorporate little bits of that into the mix. Lastly, it was a pleasure sitting for this entire video because you have a calming presence, as opposed to some more hyper and noisy informational videos😅. So I thank you for that!😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate that you watched my video and your kind comments! I love that you were able to grow a lemon tree from a seed! That is really exciting! Citrus does not need to have the interior branches pruned, especially when planted in the ground outside They actually do better if the interior branches are left because the trunks are very tender and can get damaged by the sun. Citrus grown indoors doesn't have that issue, so pruning the interior branches could help with size control and help light reach more branches so you can get more fruit set. The issue is that if you then move that tree back outdoors into strong sunlight, you will need to protect the trunk.
Yes, I do remember you saying that the trunk can get burnt if it's outside. So I will definitely stop with the interior pruning. Because in the summer it does go outside, But the spot where I keep it only gets about 4 hours total of sun. I want to reconfigure my garden next year, and hopefully find another spot for it where I can get a lot more sun. I live on Cape Cod, Zone 7A. I look forward to your future videos! Thanks so much for your information
Thanks for your video. I'd like to know what you do to keep your skin so smooth!!!! I have about 6 citrus trees this year I'm overwintering inside in zone 8 in southern Utah. I'm hoping they do well!
Thank you for watching my videos and for your kind comments! It's actually the lighting in that room that helps my skin look better than it really is 🤣! I am excited about your citrus trees! What varieties are you growing?
@@gardenwiseadventures I have a Rio Red Grapefruit, Washington Navel orange, Valencia Orange, Bearss Lime, Meyer Lemon, an unknown lemon variety, and some sort of orange or tangerine (I got a cheap 4 pack of baby citrus years ago - the lemon does well enough with full sized fruits but the lime and orange only grew fruits the size of cherry tomatoes. I have 3 of those still alive though don't know if the lime died to the rootstock and is a wild variety now or not - left it out all last winter and it grew back really low. That's why I bought the other named varieties this year.) I actually left all those older citrus outside next to the house last winter (except for about 2 weeks). The lime was the most sensitive.
I just started my garden this year-never even picked up a shovel before April 2024, lol. Right now, I'm keeping it simple with peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants, but I've quickly fallen in love with gardening and I'm already planning for the future. I've decided to purchase a Meyer lemon tree and a red finger lime tree. Thank you so much for these videos! They're incredibly helpful for a beginner like me. I live in zone 7 and plan to grow them indoors. Do you have any other tips or advice?
@AntiNiche I am so glad my videos help! It's surprising how quickly gardening becomes addictive 😁! The only advice I can give is not to give up. Failure does happen, but it's the best way to learn what works and what doesn't for your particular garden. Just enjoy the whole process!
So helpful, thank you! Question, when you winterize potted citrus, should they be in a slightly cooler area? I seem to remember reading that they need a cool period to flower--like in the 60's.
I try and move my citrus inside when both the inside and outside are close to the same temperature (around 75° F) to minimize leaf loss. The room I move them into stays around that temperature. Mine usually flower as soon as they come indoors.
during fall/winter, what room temperature do you maintain your lemon trees at? Is it true that fluctuations in temp (day temp and night temp) are better than a constant temp (ex. 18 degrees Celcius throughout the fall/winter) for flowering? I just got my first 2 dwarf lemon trees, and for the fall/winter, my plan is to keep them on my balcony inside a little PE greenhouse with 5 watt incandescent christmas lights and thermostat to keep them warm at a certain temp, but unsure if I should keep them at a constant temp like 18C (too warm?) or get a thermostat that can do day and night temp to induce temp fluctuations. It rarely goes to freezing temps here...mild weather.
I keep mine around 78° all winter long. The room I have them in is connected to the house heating and air conditioning, so There isn't a choice to change it here. My lemon tree and Austrailian Red Lime flowers as soon as I bring them in each year and then randomly flowers through the winter. My Owari Satsuma only flowered once in the spring.
It's very helpful to know something about the height of the citrus indoors, thank you very much! I'm growing my kumquat seedlings in door for over a year, and it comes to a point that they are growing higher and higher but no branches at all, even I took off the top shot, they wouldn't grow branches just keep growing higher(just learned yesterday that I have to keep taking off newshots at the top until it decide to branch, or is there any better suggestions? I'm eager to learn and try. I'm not looking for fruiting, just want to have these trees indoor). I have an east facing indoor balcony which is summer like in winter and burning hot in summer in Beijing, almost get sunlight smash in my living room everyday until 11 am. They are growing OK but there are so little infomation I can find about grow citrus, kumquats from seeds, especially the basic knowlage about them, with your video I can figure out how high I want them to grow and the future knowlage of pruning them. Thank you!
Tipping the branches like you are doing is a good way to get more branches. Adding more light is another way. Citrus needs a ton of light and will keep growing long branches to find it. It it has more light, it will thicken up more.
Good stuff here. For your 511, did you use regular perlite or #3 perlite? Coarser one is preferred and did you add 1 tablespoon of dolomite lime per gallon of mix. It helps with the ph of the bark and adds some nutes! Have a blessed day
Thank you! I didn't look to see how coarse the perlite is, but the extra pumice that I added was quite large. I did not add lime because the water here is very alkaline. It can get close to an 8, so adding lime to anything in Utah can be detrimental. I do use Cal-mag when I do the liquid feed every week or 2. Here's an update video that shows how I make my mix. The citrus were pretty sad looking in this video, but now have started to leaf back out! ruclips.net/video/sn7fpYGAXco/видео.html
I have mine in 15 gallon pots and I have 4 on a plastic pallet on wheels and roll it in the garage here in Washington year 5 the smaller ones just go around and in a grow tent
Some good advice in this video but I would never transfer water that has gone through one pot to another - any soil born issues would be spread from one plant to another
I am sorry you have had those issues! I haven't dealt with either of those pests, likely because my plants are indoors most of the time. Here are a couple of articles I did find that might help.

@@gardenwiseadventures thank you for the information. They don’t harm the trees but it’s so ugly it piss me off. The lemons don’t do it only mandarin n blood oranges n starting to get my finger limes
After 7-8 years with various citrus indoor lighting should follow regular season or a cooling period. Otherwise they can go dormant and not flower or burst out new growth.
hold on.. you said you use your shower water as your water for your plants? Doesn't it contain soap, shampoo from showering? How does this work? Very intriguing..
That's a good question! I leave the bucket under the faucet and move it when I am shampooing my hair. It doesn't catch all the water from my shower, and I avoid letting any soap get into the bucket.
@@gardenwiseadventures thanks for the reply :) I forgot to ask...how do you catch all the water when showering to save it for your plants? When I shower, (shower head shoots water down onto me) the water just goes down the drain on the floor of the bathtub..how would I catch that water?
It's basically the water that comes out of the faucet when the shower gets turned on and off, and any that splashes into the bucket. The bucket is left under the faucet. Maybe the difference is I have a tub shower, not a stand-alone shower.
Gonna have to try to grow some citrus. Your video is super informative. Tried the mosquito bits with no luck though. Been using a 4 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide on all our houseplants. Works wonders on getting rid of the fungus nats.
Thank you, I am glad it helped! I may need to try the hydrogen peroxide! I was out of my grow room for a bit and have had an explosion of fungus gnats!
It seems to me that the bigger reason you don't have a lot of pests is that you live in Utah and there are just not a lot of critters that are adapted to citrus in our part of the state.
I also think that the plants' reaction to your fertilization regime is interesting, you would think our water has enough of the minerals that Cal-Mag has to make it redundant.... 😆
That is true about Utah and the pests! White fly, Thrips and Mites could still end up causing issues! I thought the same thing about Cal Mag and didn't start using it for a while. I was frustrated that my citrus was still yellowing even with weekly nitrogen and read that some people had success using Cal Mag. I was very intrigued when my citrus leaves stopped yellowing after starting to use it. I am not sure of the reason! Although, it may be the magnesium.
@@gardenwiseadventures will do! What kind of lighting indoors do you recommend? I usually use those 3 led flat garage shop lights they are super bright but I'm not sure a regular white led is good for plants
It always amazes me how a lot of people tackle the issue of a citrus tree getting too big, so you put it in a small pot. This is like girls with big boobs whining their backs hurt, and bohoo what can they do about it. Prune roots? People, really? "Breast reduction surgery"! We're all struggling to actually grow our plants, despite them being forced to live in containers their whole lives, and you're finding solutions for them growing "too large". How "large" can they get in a container?
This video is very informative. Thank you.
