Citrus Care Overview

Many Sarasota homeowners take full advantage of our subtropical climate and choose to plant citrus trees and other types of edible tropical plants and fruit trees. However, citrus trees and edible plants can be most susceptible to insects, diseases, and nutritional problems. Citrus plants will often be ravaged by a combination of problems leaving the trees with shriveled leaves and poor fruit production.

At GreenEdge, our horticultural experts provide effective Citrus Health Care service and will ensure that your citrus plant harvest is bountiful, and the tree has lush, beautiful deep green leaves.

Citrus Care Needs

Diseases – As said before, one of the biggest problems in Big Citrus is green spot disease, but there’s also greasy spot, mealonse, and foot rot. Citrus greening is so serious because it’s incurable, but the rest of them are. The best way to deal with citrus diseases is first to identify what it then nips it in the bud, thus making mass chemical spray unnecessary. But when it comes to citrus health care, our science and horticulture based solutions are unmatched in how effectively they deal with citrus diseases.

Pests – In addition to diseases that are often confused with pests. They are insects that infest plants and proliferate via a parasitic relationship. The way we deal with these little critters is first to identify what it is that’s turning your oranges and lemons too much, then deliver the killing blow before they over infest the citrus plant. The best pesticide treatments for citrus are organic because they are cleaner and more environmentally friendly such as neem oil and horticultural oil.

Irrigation – A huge concern for citrus plants is irrigation. Since citrus care is complex compared to simpler trees and shrubs, it can be a nightmare knowing how much water should be used and when. When a scientific and environmentally friendly approach to irrigation is needed, we’ll set a citrus irrigation system that will conform to exactly what your citrus needs. Including the time of year, indoors or outdoors, the health of a tree, the tree’s age, water tolerance, and much more. All of these factors will need to be taken into account when irrigating citrus plants. An important barometer of whenever or not your citrus plants are getting enough water is determining soil moisture. If the soil is moist, the citrus is plenty satisfied, but consider watering it more if it’s dry.

Lighting – Partial sun for 8 hours is generally agreed to be the best for citrus care. Artificial light should be supplied in case natural is insufficient.

Fertilizing – This is just as complex as Irrigating a citrus plant as they are not simply plants but are highly complex, complicated organisms. Citrus plants require a huge amount of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium in addition to Magnesium, Boron, Copper, and Zinc. You should use specialized citrus fertilizer that conforms to a specific diet to enhance citrus growth to produce vibrant leaves, branches, and fruit. Advanced citrus formulas deliver impressive results.

Pruning – Pruning is unnecessary but is sometimes helpful to cut back on growth to funnel light in. Well-Pruned trees generally grow better than ones that have not been pruned at all.
