I am from sri lanka .garden and landscape related to the jobs i am currently doing the job with 15 years of experience i am happy to meet people like you
Ive been growing citrus for years, and nothing beats epsom salts! 1 week after giving epsom salts you'll see new leaves everywhere. once every 2 months is great. If your fruits are dropping early, it is usually a lack of phosphorus and potassium.
Yes, I agree. I am doing the same. I give Epson salt and new leaves develop everywhere within 2 weeks. My citrus trees were covered with scale. So, I prayed bio oil 100 ml/10 litre of water,and followed up once after 2 weeks again. All scale died. Not even one on my cirrus trees any more. I also had a big problem with citrus leaf miner. After spraying bio oil, no leaf miners any more and my citrus trees look beautiful.
Oh good to know thank you for sharing! We have a old lemon tree in ground in yard and it was neglected for a very long time. Has leaf miners, aphids, black bugs I think that look like dot, a little bit of yellowing of some leaves, has many suckers that are very long and tall, vine plant from neighbors climbing up the trunk, i really wish to save the tree or at least be able to clone it. Any helps or tips for saving it?
@@Jules-740 to get rid of the pests, spray the infected areas with soapy water, repeat like twice a week, after each spray like an hour later blast areas with a hose pipe. magnesium, potassium go a long way, but do fertilize it, and water well. i have tried many many times to clone a citrus, all have failed.
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob Thank you so much for these tips! I will give it a shot. Also I forgot to mention I think this tree is really on it's way out because it is old and also because someone seems like they hacked it or hit the trunk with something sharp that went really deep. Chunks of the tree bark are falling and peeling off the tree also. 😩😞😖
@@Jules-740 a citrus tree should have a lifespan of 50years, so maybe try revive it. give it 2 tablespoons of epsom salts in 2lts of water, you really should see new leaf growth in 2 weeks or less..if you do thats a great sign. good luck
How about using potting media that doesn’t go “gluggy” in the first place. Coarse River Sand, Pumice, Perlite for example. Peat Moss can also be used, maybe 40% for water retention. Coarse river sand on its own works wonders if you can manage the weight. For anyone interested look up “what is perfect soil” by Gary’s best gardening on UA-cam…. You’ll understand why the potting media looked like sewage and needed to be replaced, and why the same thing will happen because they repotted with the same mix.
Thank you so much for the lesson I got a lemon tree in a big but i just realise it has one big not can it be cut the branch of wen il prune it thank you 👍🏻🌈💖🇦🇺🐨🦘
Looked dry and too many drainage holes. Roots were fine. All it needed was water and "Gyganic" organic fert every month during growing season. MINIMAL water in winter.
Because the plant was stressed its resistance to pests and diseases was lowered. This is not uncommon for a wide variety of plants/trees. The first action to stop the scale is to improve the vigour of the plant - the repotting process show here in the video will take care of that. Second is to prune and open up the canopy as adding air and light can help reduce scale - again the repotting takes care of this. Finally you can spray what's left with white oil - follow the manufacturer's instructions. Scale can hide so look underneath leaves and along stems. Have a great day.
Uhhh sorry to be the bearer of bad news "doc" but you got the prognosis wrong, that tree was just overwatered which is why the soil was gluggy. The procedure was unnecessary. Simply don't overwater container citrus - especially in colder weather.
A citrus in the same pot for 6 years - repotting was the absolute best advice. Refreshes the soil and the pruning (root & canopy) will encourage strong new growth and improve resistance to pests and disease. The repotting has also allowed for the drainage holes to be cleaned out. Now with nice fresh open soil the risk of any overwatering is reduced as the water can escape the pot and get away from the roots. Just my 5 cents.
The dog is exhausted after witnessing all that work!
The easy extraction from the barrel is miraculous. Only in the movies
Give that barrel a medal!
What a lovely video to show how to do the rejuvenation of a pot!

Entertaining and very informative and great acting Josie and Xavier ! Well done 'Dr.' Josh!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'd love to see how the tree is doing now.
Seems like the right diagnosis. Great work team.
Thanks for watching!
Just what I needed to know time to increase my pot size and fresh soil.
Thanks for watching!
That's so uncanny my Gran had a cumquat tree and whenever I see one I think of her - great segment Josh thank you!
Same here. I have one in my yard in her honor
Loved this. I have just bought my first citrus tree, a mandarin ao I need to learn a lot.
Please keep your great videos coming. Thank you all.❤
Thank you! Will do!
Well done Josh.
I really needed this video so thank you. I’m not looking forward to that huge job as I have 5 lemon trees to repot after about 10 years 😳
Selamat sore sahabatku terimakasih banyak perkongsian nya ya
Thank you! I needed this for my oranges!

Good one Josh.
Reckon you should have hosed out the old potting mix from that root ball, that fix wont last long.
Fantastic content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🌱
@@GardeningAustralia It would be great to see an update on this tree if it's still alive?
Explanation on how to root prune please 😊
Did it work???
can we get a follow up ?
Thank you so much for the lesson I got a lemon tree in a big but i just realise it has one big not can it be cut the branch of wen il prune it thank you 👍🏻🌈💖🇦🇺🐨🦘
Is wood better than pots
That's not rootbound! The type of soil mix is the problem.
useful information if you can get past the cheesiness

Wow!!!, I'm allowed to comment.
The scale was not addressed. 😢

Thank you for the response. I will look for white oil.
I'm a professional gardener and that jar is not big enough!
What a hack.

What are your credentials?

Thats exactly what he said gluggy soil
