Citrus are fruit trees that require nutrients to develop properly. Unlike conventional trees, citrus trees need certain nutrients that are not found in many fertilizers.
Citrus trees need large amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
In addition, they also need a lot of iron and magnesium so that the fruits come out sweeter and not so acidic.
– Homemade fertilizer for citrus
Ingredients:
2 yellow lemons (juice) and 1 liter of water.
Preparation:
Just mix the lemon juice with the water and you will have your ecological fertilizer to water your citrus trees.
– Fertilizer characteristics
This fertilizer can be applied once every 7 days when it is in the process of flowering or in spring and summer. When autumn and winter arrive, they will have to be watered once every 15 days.
It is recommended that the fertilizer is not stored because it loses its properties, but you can store it for a few days in the fridge.
This fertilizer is rich in magnesium, iron and citric acid, and in a smaller amount of potassium. This helps to prevent pests and diseases in our citrus fruits, and also to have abundant fruit.
