Well, it is not bad. I prefer lawn fertilizers. They usually have much N, Fe and Mg and that's what citrus love. And they are cheap.
All that is for Europe. I don't know anything about fertilizers in th US.

Nice to read from you again. I always followed your posts with interest, since iam growing citrus in austria under almost the same bad conditions as you do. I always wanted to keep them without light in the winter, but its just not working out pretty well so far. Either i keep them too wet or dry, there is always something they dont like . Your Moro looks awesome, the roots must look fantastic. The flying dragon also looks pretty amazing.

Nice to hear from you 😊 What was your name on the other forum? Can't seem to remember anyone by that name 😁
Winter is indeed not the best period. Even with the lights I still expect leaf drop to happen, especially the lower leaves that get little of the light. Also, with the little room I have left in the winter quarters (my daughters plants take up way too much space 🙄) I have to put my citrus plants too close together which allows even less light to reach the leaves...
Actually the root ball of the moro isn't that impressive. It does fill up the container but it isn't short on space yet...

My name must have been something like rki_cki if iam not wrong, but i only posted a few times, before the forum went offline But i have managed to read a lot of the posts there and i learned so much in a short time, it was an awesome collection of knowledge. I hope ur daughters and the winter let ur plants survive, wish u the best At the moment i've only got 2 limes. One orange lime (not sure about the real name) and one mexican lime, they are getting no artificial light at all and so far they are doing better then i expected. They only lost leafs once, because i let the rootball get to dry.... but iam learning everyday from my plants.

I don't protect it at all 🙂 It is placed against the south facing wall of the house. It's capable of withstanding a bit of a freeze without damage but it has suffered some serious die back in the past years, up to the point that nothing was left but the main branch above the grafting point. Otherwise it would have been quite a bit larger by now I think! But as it is doing so nice now, I will take it inside when a more serious freeze is predicted 😁
