Citrus Feed - Summer

Citrus Feed – Summer is a high nitrogen fertiliser developed specifically for all citrus plants.

Many citrus fruits, such as lemons, kumquats and limes are not hardy but can be grown in pots outdoors in summer and brought inside during the colder months.

Citrus Feed – Summer:

• High nitrogen content to support growth and improve fruiting
• Discourages premature ripening, fruit drop and leaf discolouration
• Apply weekly from April to September.

Citrus are hungry plants and need feeding regularly. In summer water freely but allow the surface to partially dry out before re-watering.

All citrus plants thrive in humid conditions but lemons and kumquats are more resistant to cold. Lime and grapefruit require warmer conditions throughout the year.

Citrus flowers appear all year round and the fruit can take 12 months to ripen, so patience is required when growing.

Citrus Feed can be stored indefinitely if sealed in an air tight container.

Sizes available:

• 200g tub

Mix 5g (1 teaspoon) of Vitax Citrus Summer Feed in 2.5 litres (4 pints) water and apply weekly from April to September. Ensure the compost does not dry out between feeds, keeping sil moist, but not waterlogged.
