Hi,just wondering if there was anything you could feed or do to encourage
a young citrus to root keenly after transplanting.As i understand it,the tree
tends to want to fill the new container before putting out top growth.
would it therefore be good to feed with an npk of 0/n 5/p k/5 etc? so as
not to encourage top growth?
Any advice appreciated,cheers

I would not fertilise the tree just after re potting, you should wait a few weeks because otherways you damage the roots. And probably the tree will start growing when the roots are heald Smile Oh yeah shouldn't N be always a lot higher than P &K? like 15-3-9

Greets, laurens
