Know before you buy
Yes, while specifically formulated for citrus, this blend is also suitable for other fruit-bearing vines and ornamental plants that benefit from a balanced 6-3-3 nutrient profile.
This is a slow-release formula that remains effective for approximately two months. You should plan to reapply throughout the growing season, specifically during spring, summer, and fall.
For container-grown citrus, apply 2 to 4 tablespoons per gallon of soil. Be sure to mix it into the top layer of soil and water thoroughly after application.
No, this is a granular fertilizer. It is designed to break down slowly in the soil to provide a steady supply of nutrients over time rather than an immediate, short-term boost.
The blend is crafted from natural sources including feather meal, fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, basalt, and kelp meal, which work together to support both soil health and plant vitality.
For established trees, use 1 cup of fertilizer for every inch of the tree's trunk diameter. Distribute the granules evenly around the drip line of the tree for the best results.
