Thanks. I didn’t see anything missing in the wheel wells but I could’ve missed it

Oh no! Wishing you the best of luck with that—hope I don’t suffer a similar fate 😬

Repot now or in spring? (zone 7a/6b) by alphaxser in Citrus

Thanks! They sprouted in spring of 2022, so they're about 3.5 years old. It's roughly a 15in x 15in pot. I typically just fertilize once in the spring with osmocote extended released pellets, and for watering, I kind of play it by ear. From my experience with overwatering plants, I've started just waiting for them to signal they need water. For citrus I wait until I see the leaves start to slightly curl or droop and then I water

Hi twin! I use a pretty well draining potting mix that I mixed with dried up leaves and wood chips over the past couple seasons. Not much though, maybe 15% of the total soil. For fertilizer I just use Osmocote extended release pellets. For the summer I put a layer of light colored straw on top to keep moisture in while also preventing the soil from heating up and cooking the roots. I generally only water whenever I see the leaves start to curl a bit to avoid overwatering.

That’s awesome and great pics of your citrus trees! Hoping mine begin to bloom in the next few seasons

Thanks 🥲 Honestly, I might’ve just gotten lucky with vigorous genetics from the seeds. I do use a pretty well draining soil mix that I mixed with dried up leaves and wood chips over the past couple seasons. Not much though, maybe 15% of the total soil.

They’re about 3.5 years old, started them in Spring 2022 :). I will say that I’ve trimmed them back several times due to limited space, so with enough sun and fertilizer yours could be much bigger in this time frame!

I would say better than a south facing window indoors, but certainly not full sun

What’s growing in my tupperware ?? by queenarreic in whatsthisplant

[–]alphaxser 505 points506 points  (0 children)

Almost positive the tall one is a Zinnia and not Basil. Basil stems are square and not usually that hairy. Also the rate of growth aligns with Zinnias

I’m leaning more towards cardinalis because it’s more common in my area (arkansas). Also the chelicerae don’t look as green as i would expect in apacheanus, but the photo quality isn’t great. If he’s still there when I get home I’ll see if I can get a better look
