Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Gather your Growth Technology Citrus Focus Repotting Mix, a pot with drainage holes (slightly larger than the current one), and your citrus tree.
- Repotting: Gently remove the tree from its old pot. Loosen any tightly bound roots. Add a layer of the repotting mix to the bottom of the new pot. Place the tree in the pot and fill the surrounding space with the Citrus Focus Repotting Mix, ensuring the root ball is covered.
- Watering: Water the newly repotted tree thoroughly. Ensure water drains freely from the bottom.
- Care: Place the repotted tree in a location with adequate sunlight. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize as needed, following the instructions on your chosen fertilizer.
