Citrus General Discussion / Re: Tree Dieback??
« on: June 03, 2019, 03:36:53 PM »
i hv read an article by a german doctor stating that citrus historically learned to get along with very low P ratios, but they tend to have iron deficiency when having too much P.
if u have to overwinter them inside i can recommend a mix of 1/3 peat, 1/3 pine park and 1/3 perlite. since i read millets post to use this kind of mix (he did not say perlite, but some sand or equal stuff) my plants are doing fantastic. i can also recommend terracotta pots, if the weight isnt a problem for u.
when i experienced leaf drop, it was for 2 reasons. either the soil stood wet for too long (not a problem with millets mix anymore) or the temperature in the room was too high for the light we get in the winter.
