Product Information

Full details

Vitax Citrus Feed Summer is designed for amateur and professional gardeners who grow citrus plants like lemons, limes, and kumquats in containers. The primary benefit of this formula is its high nitrogen content, which encourages lush, green foliage and heavy fruit yields during the active growing season. A notable caveat is that this feed is specifically intended for use from April to September; it is not suitable for winter maintenance when the plant is in dormancy.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this feed during the winter?

No, this formula is specifically designed for the active growing season from April to September.

How often should I apply the feed?

It is recommended to apply the feed once weekly during the summer months.

Is this safe for indoor citrus trees?

Yes, provided the tree is in its active growing phase and receiving sufficient light.

Does this replace regular watering?

No, it is a nutrient supplement to be added to your regular watering routine.

What citrus varieties is this suitable for?

It is ideal for lemons, limes, kumquats, and other common container-grown citrus varieties.

Troubleshooting

Leaves still appearing yellow despite regular feeding

Check the soil pH; citrus plants prefer slightly acidic soil. If the pH is too high, the plant cannot absorb the nutrients provided.

Fertilizer powder clumping in the packet

This is often due to moisture exposure. Ensure the storage area is completely dry and reseal the bag immediately after use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes vibrant and healthy green leaves
  • Encourages increased fruit production
  • Prevents common citrus nutrient deficiencies
  • Simple weekly application process

Cons

  • Not suitable for winter or dormant seasons
  • Requires consistent weekly mixing
  • Limited to container-grown citrus plants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the feed, dilute the recommended amount of product into a watering can filled with clean water. Ensure the soil in the container is already slightly moist before application to prevent fertilizer burn on the roots. Always store the remaining 200g of powder in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain potency. This product is strictly for citrus varieties and should not be used on acid-hating or ornamental plants that require different NPK ratios.
