Hello:

I live on the west coast of Canada and have just started out trying to grow citrus in containers. Most of them have been started from seed but I have a calamondin, a poncirus and 2 small finger limes that just might be mature enough to bloom. I'm having difficulties with all the little plants, mostly due to potting into too large size pots (now corrected) and possibly not enough direct sun during the summer outside. I use Foliage Pro as a fertilizer with Nature's Bounty fish emulsion also but I am still seeing yellowing leaves and sulking plants. I have potted them all up in a 5-1-1 mixture so they shouldn't have wet feet anymore. I've just started using grow lights, about 2 weeks ago, so am quite interested to see how that experiment goes...so far I'm having lots of problems but am determined to continue and learn.

Cheers!

Welcome. This is a great place with lots of helpful people. I just started growing citrus less than a year ago and I've got loads of help from people on this site.

I'm in Ireland so I've had to do the same as you and put my small plants under led lights in a heated room to try and stop them from going dormant during the winter
