Because Epsom salts are a form of magnesium, they are an effective and convenient soil amendment for treating magnesium deficiency in lemon trees. It is important that your lemon tree has enough magnesium in order to thrive and produce fruit for years to come.
Leave potted lemon trees in cooler temperatures, around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, for at least a few hours every day in the winter and early spring. Lemon trees are subtropical plants, and they will not bloom if they are in constantly warm climates. Cooler temperatures encourage the plant to bloom. Though Meyer lemon trees are naturally shrub-like, they can also be pruned into tree form. When planted in the ground, they can grow up to 8 to 10 feet tall and up to 12 feet wide.
When grown in garden pots, your plant will be smaller and grow accordingly with the size of the pot. Most lemon trees can take about three years after planting to yield some lemons suitable for picking, that is long as they are cared for correctly. If you grow a lemon tree from seed, it may take from three-six years for the tree to be capable of producing fruit.
When growing lemon trees in containers, the needs are very similar to lemon trees growing in the ground. The lemon trees will need good drainage, so make sure the pot has drainage holes.
They will also need consistent and regular watering. But really, I 'use' steal them from the trash just to look quirky and eccentric at the office. Osmocote Plus has Calcium, I believe, and perhaps a few other micros, as well.
I include Osmocote when I mix the soil to have a charge of nutrients at the start I can't imagine peeing on my two container citrus and then bringing the pots inside. It would probably cause my male dog to start marking all over my townhome. I know this is a citrus forum, but on another note, do you think Guatemala would be a good place to retire? My retirement savings and townhome value seem to be going down each day, and I'm thinking I may have to move out of the USA to retire.
I have lived in the tropics before [two years is Ghana, West Africa and one year in Puerto Rico] and loved it.
Would love to live somewhere where I could grow citrus outside the whole year around Check out www. I have a meiwa kumquat tree grown from seed obtained from a kumquat I eight.
I also have poncirus trifoliata trees from seed. When I urinated on my P. Apparently P. I only have one meiwa and don't want to experiment with it. My blueberries died and the P. What I have done. Poncirus, never use urine directly - compost it, and dilute it with water. A lot of folks recommend a ratio of water to urine, added once a week only.
Thanks for the advice I'll use urine in my compost pile and use fish emulsion fertilizer for my potted plants. Just as an aside but adding vinegar to the irrigation water really does nothing. While the vinegar's are acidic it is a natural organic acid and as such it is readily consumed by the soil bacteria and once consumed you lose the acid effect. It is better as you suggest to use phosphoric or sulfuric acid. Do you have any before and after photos of the effects of using the sulphuric acid BR?
Just curious. Urine by itself is too strong and will 'burn' the citrus tree. Also, if you have some sort of bladder infection don't pee on the tree either. Dilute the urine. Usually parts water per 1 part urine with 1 part wood ash mixed in. That's a good ratio once per week. Don't worry about the smell, once diluted with wood ash mixed in it's non-existent. As for coffee grounds from Starbucks, yes, that's a great place to get them. Just ask if you can take one of the trash cans full of used grinds and they'll probably give it to you for free or save it for you if you tip them well.
They've had this program on the qt for some time now as it lowers their trash usage and waste costs and let's them feel good about helping gardeners. Bamboo Rabbit misunderstands the application of vinegar in a container gardening context.
The point is not to acidify the actual potting media, but rather to lower the pH of the fertigating solution while the plant takes up nutrients. Hey, I just came here to find out if my peeing outside which I prefer to do could be hurting my Meyer lemon tree. Reason I ask, someone told me that citrus trees "loved it", but the native grass I live in Northern CA clearly doesn't.
Without putting too fine a point on it, the places I've gone exhibit a clear pattern of scorched earth - dead grass that shows no sign of returning soon. Now, the lemon tree is producing as normal lots of lemons bit some of the leaves are curling and "bubbling" a little. Did I do that? Should I stop peeing near the tree? It's been raining a lot, BTW. The curling and bubbling is probably from Citrus leaf miner, not your pee. Barb The vast majority of us men do not consider it a toy.
It is a very necessary part of us to have children with the one we hold special in our heats. It is valuable in cementing intimacy and bonding and trust with that special one.
Mens urine is not special compared to womens urine so you ladies can collect urine for your own garden needs. Also I thing almost all of use men collect in 'Milk jugs' for diluting and pouring on the soil for best results. Urinate in a container, dilute with water, then pour evenly around the tree. Don't do it too often. Steve, of course most men don't think so. Are coffee grounds good for citrus trees? Citrus do like a bit of acid soil, and are heavy feeders, meaning they use high N, as well as some P in the NPK mixes sold.
Coffee grounds are probably good every months now and months when cooler, and are a good mulch near the trunk if dried. People, never toss coffee or tea leftovers, or even stale drinks! Can human urine kill a tree? Urine is brewed and diluted when used as a fertilizer. Trees have put up with a lot of human urine over thousands of years and survived. Urine can kill the leaves this applies to very young trees and shrubs even then they tend to survive.
Urine can be neutral as in the case of vegetarians so they will not harm trees. Is urine good for tomato plants? Apparently, human urine works remarkably well as a fertilizer for tomatoes, according to a new study out of Finland. Healthy human urine is rich in nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and phosphate, all key ingredients for healthy plants. Is Epsom salt good for lemon trees?

Anything wrong if I pee on my mandarin trees instead? Happy days. The idea is for them to buy the book, what they do with it after that is entirely up to them — door-stop, decor item, coffee table show-off, status item, pot-plant stand, coffee cup putting place, throw at cat object and so on.
With e-publishing there are more options to get it out there than when writers were entirely dependent on the whims of print publishers. Trevor Nottle August 9, The leaves are still yellow. Sprinkle Mineral Mix blend of fertiliser as above. My husband pees on my lemon tree; what should I do? Notify of. Most Voted Newest Oldest. Inline Feedbacks. Reply to Helen. Yes, I would like to know this too, maybe he is just being horticulturally sexist!! Florian Wolf.
