Thank you for the straight forward, straight-to-the- point explanation for fertilizing. Typically, I get dizzy from all the hype and that is why I liked when you advised not to buy into it. Also, thank you for sharing the type of slow release fertilizer you are using. Your demonstration fed my thirst for visualization and will hopefully help my little lemon trees😊🍋
Hi, thanks for all your content, you changed a lot of misconceptions I had about gardening. I have a question regarding the amount of fertilization and watering in hot areas. Do you think the frequency of fertilization in hot areas, and specifically in the hot seasons should be higher than non-hot areas? I mean that a slow release fertilizer that needs to be given every 6 months, under watering in a hot area will probably wash out of the tank faster than a tank located in a less hot area and so less watered. What do you think about this?
love your videos. like youve said in other videos, a lot of channels dont go into depth on the info thats needed. Funny because i was looking into buying that same fertilizer yesterday.
Hi QCTropicals, I have a lemon tree in 10 G pot for 6 years, grown well with large and many green leaves, but no flowers and lemons. I fertilizer regularly, but not on any schedule, any suggestions to make it fruits? thanks.
I’ve got a couple young lemon and Orange trees….and they’ve already got tonnns of tiny buds, should I prune those off or let them fall off….there’s no way my tree is strong enough to support all those fruits so I figured I could redirect energy to root or maybe a few buds I keep. What do u think?
I live in Texas. Is it okay to grow trees in black pots in hot climates? I recently transplanted my trees into black pots and have been noticing people saying that the roots can 'fry' due to how hot the black pots get in the heat of summer.
send me an email with more info about your tree such as a picture, how old, sun exposure, watering schedule, your location, etc to info@queencreektropicals.com
There are chelated micronutrients in the fertilizer we use. Even if there wasn't, it would take years before they became deficient. Most of these plants will be planted in the ground before them. Also, bugs get in the potting mix, crickets, rolley pollies, etc. Their poop has trace minerals :).
if using instant release fertilizers, very slow amounts usually every 2-3 months during the growing season. Or better yet, 1/10 the recommended dosage, monthly.
This is so typical. This particular gardener claims this one fertilizer is great. But this is not good for every plant, and those numbers are important, and someone selling plants doesn't feel the private issues plants have in their home's. Etc. I wish I didn't have to wait to the very last two minutes to hear his point
Import the fruits?. We import most of our produce simply because it's cheaper to grow it in other countries in the quantities we need. System in the U.S. is not farmer friendly if you didn't know.

Great information thanks for sharing and keeping it real 👍

Thanks for the info...much respect from Baltimore

Osmocote has to be the most economical fertilizer there is. You actually are using one with a really good ratio. 3-1-2 is perfect.
Great video! Thank you
Love your videos. They are so informative. What do you do to protect your plants against those crazy desert winds?
Not much I can do besides planting close to each other.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Where is your location? I am in AZ also.

Hi! My kaffir lime flowers but the fruit drops off.I live in a Tropical country with lot of rainfall. I do fertilise them off and on.
fruits will easily drop on young trees. How old is your tree and is there a lot of wind in your area?
What's the best container a tall container or short and wide. Does it make a difference?
Taller containers are better. They allow the roots to go down. Short containers, roots tend to grow out the drainage holes a lot sooner than taller.
@@qctropicals ok, thank you
Can you grow avocado trees in Arizona
ofcourse, vid coming up
I live in Texas. Is it okay to grow trees in black pots in hot climates? I recently transplanted my trees into black pots and have been noticing people saying that the roots can 'fry' due to how hot the black pots get in the heat of summer.
those people have no idea what they're talking about. Tell them I said that 🤣
@qctropicals LMBO! *phew* Thanks so much for clearing that up. They legit had me nervous. Definitely subscribing to this channel!
@@yoruichi8907 most of my pots are in direct sunlight here in the desert, no problem. They love it! as long as you water :)
I planted a tangerine tree it gave fruit when i bought it and after that nomore. Can you guide me please?
send me an email with more info about your tree such as a picture, how old, sun exposure, watering schedule, your location, etc to info@queencreektropicals.com
@@qctropicals i sure will thank you..
What about trace elements ( micro nutrients)
There are chelated micronutrients in the fertilizer we use. Even if there wasn't, it would take years before they became deficient. Most of these plants will be planted in the ground before them. Also, bugs get in the potting mix, crickets, rolley pollies, etc. Their poop has trace minerals :).
Do you have a pink grapefruit tree?
ruby red
My yuzu leaves are curling and turning yellow. I did fertilize earlier this summer with and all purpose 444 fertilizer. Can I fertilize again now?
if using instant release fertilizers, very slow amounts usually every 2-3 months during the growing season. Or better yet, 1/10 the recommended dosage, monthly.
Awesome thank you!
I give my key lime deluted fish emulsion 1once a week. OK ?
Can't hurt anything. I barely take care of mine and get hundreds of limes
I live in Las Vegas I have 1 key lime in a pot, how often to fertilize for me?
if you follow what I do, once or twice a year during the growing season only.
Man, where can I buy that fertizer ?
anywhere online
Can you please help with my citrus tree if I send the pictures I do not know what is wrong
@@manouchkhandadash6862 yes post your picture on our social media, either fb or intagram #qctropicals
What fertilizer do you use?
osmocote slow release
You give a lot of bad advice. 🤷🏻♂️
like what? What was the advise that was not good?
This is so typical. This particular gardener claims this one fertilizer is great. But this is not good for every plant, and those numbers are important, and someone selling plants doesn't feel the private issues plants have in their home's. Etc. I wish I didn't have to wait to the very last two minutes to hear his point
Numbers are irrelevant, any slow release fertilizer will work. I put plants before my wallet and grow most of them for personal use.
If they grow like weeds, why do we even import them from other countries?? 🤷🏼♀️
Import the fruits?. We import most of our produce simply because it's cheaper to grow it in other countries in the quantities we need. System in the U.S. is not farmer friendly if you didn't know.
