Citrus General Discussion / Re: Best Potting Soil

I and many others use the 5-1-1 medium for citrus. 5-1-1 is 5 parts pine bark fines (pieces at 1\4") plus 1 part peat moss, and 1 part perlite. If you do not want to cut your pieces into the proper size, you can go to any larger pet supply store and purchase a bag of Repti Bark. Also add dolomite as the calcium source. Soak the wood chips over night before blending the potting mixture. This formula gives equal parts of solid particles, air, and water when the medium is completely saturated. This mixture also eliminates the perched water table in the container..
