It’s best to water in the morning so the tree has time to absorb the water during the day. Water near the base of the tree and avoid wetting the leaves, as this can lead to disease. In hot or dry climates, you may need to water twice a week. Temperature Hydroculture plants - These require a hydro kit for assembly, this includes a waterproof pot liner with a base wide enough to accommodate the hydroculture grow pot. The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner.

Fertilizing timely is important for growing healthy, abundant fruit, as citrus varieties are heavy feeders. The best time to fertilize an orange tree is in the spring and summer months when the tree is actively growing. Dwarf Washington Navel: This variety is a great choice for small spaces, as it only grows to about 8 feet tall. It produces sweet, juicy oranges that are ideal for juicing and eating. Fertilize your new orange tree using a Vitamin B-1 rooting tonic once it has been potted. Thereafter, apply a slow-release fertilizer to the soil surface yearly in the spring, which will prevent any burning of the root system. Winterize your tree by ending fertilization after July. Fertilization after July promotes late, tender shoots that are susceptible to cold damage. Mandarin: It has sweet fruits, which can either be eaten plain or used in salads. This variety can be damaged by cold, so bring it inside during winter.Determine the plant's grow pot diameter. Compare this to the size of the opening of your chosen decorative pot and ensure it is big enough to insert the plant's grow pot through the opening (see diagram below). When pruning, aim to remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or crossing branches. This can help to reduce disease, improve airflow, and create a more open structure for the tree. Satsuma: This variety is known for its easy-to-peel skin and sweet flavor. It’s a less acidic orange, making it perfect for juicing. It grows to around 8 feet tall, making it great for growing in pots. Adjust Fertilizer: Reduce the amount of fertilizer or don’t feed during the winter, as you are not expecting it to flower or fruit.

For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit. A large pot gives the tree plenty of room for its roots to spread out and grow. The drainage holes are necessary to ensure that the soil does not become waterlogged and cause the tree’s roots to rot. This could be due to draughts or too high or low temperatures. It could also mean the plant is getting too much water during the winter months. Citrus trees like a rest during this time.

Valencia: This is a large, juicy orange that is perfect for juicing. It’s great for growing in pots, as it only gets to around 10 feet tall. The best temperature to grow this plant is between 65-90 F (18-32 C). Orange trees prefer warm, sunny climates and tolerate temperatures up to 100 F (38 C). As they are not frost tolerant, make sure temperatures don’t dip too low in the winter for them–if it does, keep your plant inside. Love the aroma of orange blossoms and the delicious fruit, but perhaps your climate is less than desirable for an outdoor orange tree grove? Don’t despair; the solution may just be growing orange trees in containers. Can you grow oranges in a pot? Read on to find out. Can You Grow Oranges in a Pot? Gather your materials: potting soil, a new pot, a potting mix containing fertilizer, a trowel, and a pair of garden scissors. Almost any citrus can be container grown, but due to their large size, they may suffer in a pot. The best orange trees for container gardening are the dwarf cultivars:

Citrus Thrips: These small pests feed on the leaves and fruit of citrus trees, causing them to become distorted. Take 6-10 inches of softwood cuttings from the first-year branch of a healthy tree. Make sure you are not cutting a stem with fruits or flowers. Orange plants and other citrus plants can make a beautiful houseplant for your home.

Follow our top tips on how to care for an orange tree to produce a healthy plant with some healthy fruit. The best location for growing an orange tree is with full sun, well-drained soil, and protection from strong winds. It prefers warm climates, so it should also be in an area that does not experience extremely cold temperatures. A spot that is sheltered from strong winds will also help to protect the tree from damage.

Light is also very important for citrus plants. For the best growing citrus plant, the plant needs at least 5 to 6 hours a day of direct sunlight. Try placing your plant on a south-facing window sill as this seems to provide the right amount of light. Soil Depth: When repotting allow a little room for the roots to spread. The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out.

In taller planters they allow for the soil to be contained to an appropriate depth for the plant, without needing to fill the entire vessel with soil. This ensures the root system is surrounded in optimum moisture content rather than it draining to the bottom beyond the roots. For plants in soil the key size in determining the maturity and fullness of a plant is the diameter of the grow pot. The larger the diameter, the more mature the plant. How do we size hydroculture plants?For potting medium, there are numerous thoughts, but the prevailing opinion is to select one that is well-draining. Commercial potting mixes with peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and compost are suitable as long as the soil is light enough to drain well. If it is too heavy, amend with hardwood bark, cedar, or redwood shavings, perlite, or coco fiber. Avoid buying any potting soil with chemical wetting agents which will make the soil too wet and potentially rot the roots. Citrus Canker: Citrus canker is a bacterial disease that affects the leaves, twigs, and fruits of orange trees. Symptoms include small, yellowish lesions on the leaves and twigs, as well as sunken, brown spots on the fruit. Citrus plants like quite humid environments. Try to place the plant in a room which is naturally humid, such as a bathroom or kitchen. You can also place the plant on pebble trays and mist the leaves as this helps to raise the humidity. Misting the leaves helps keep them cool and encourages pollination of flowers. Watering
