Tropical Fruit Discussion / fertilizer mango/citrus seedlings
« on: December 12, 2017, 11:19:44 AM »
hello everybody !

i was wondering when to use a fertilizer on a citrus seedling and mango seedling.

i life in a cold climate (holland) and just bought some medeteranian potting soil for my seedlings to give them the ground that they need, they were sitting in normal potting soil for quite a bit my mango seeedling is allready in its second growing period (after a cupple of months)

so i bought a fertilizer for citrus and olive plants can i give it to them around this time of year or should i wait for spring.

my second qeustion is is it also suitable for my mango seedling ?


Kind regards

could it be that i moved it to a diffrend location? or that it got no sunlight for a whole day its been for 2 days now like this with the top leaves or is it that there not fully grown yet?

would love to hear your advice on it

Having lived in Dendermonde and Leuven in Belgium for a few years, i agree, it will be tough with your climate, but we've got members here from Russia who are growing tropical plants.  If they can do it, so can you.

Do you have a greenhouse that you can use for the winter?  Do you have plans for supplemental light?

Groetjes terug van uit het natte Nederland :-)

not at the moment i was thinking of keeping it in a big pot for the rest of the year sitting on a warm spot in the house. till its a bit more mature (its only 1 1/2 months old)

you have any tips on what kind of temperatures i should stay at for this little guy?

Temps - keep it indoors and you'll be fine as long as it gets enough light.  Don't over-water the plant either as the roots will rot out on you.

As for growth, over the next year or so it may only double in size or it could really take off - depends on the genetics.  I've got 2 mango's that I started last June that are about 20 inches high and have 4 sets of leaves, 2 of them are about 24 inches high with about 6 sets of leaves and my star performer is about 36 inches high now and has all kinds of growth and is taking off.

All depends on the genetic lottery.

hope im good then, bought this pit from the local supermarket (and had all ready germinated inside the main shell)

it has been sitting like this for almost 2/3 weeks its probably focusing on the root system (it didnt have almost any roots eventhough i all ready had a few leaves)
