Has anybody used this to make a potting mix for citrus? What was your mix "recipe"?

You only need 20% mixed with proper soil and an acceptable climate. And mix the 20% with 20% soil right at the spot where the roots will touch. Good luck to you, its a great mix!

You should be able to mix it and use it on houseplants. Again, this stuff does NOT smell good at all so if you are using this indoots be warned.

We use an orange citrus cleaner on ours and it works great. Not all citrus cleaners are good for plastic, so be sure to read labels.

Personally I'd put it on full strength. I am unsure of the purpose of the citrus solvent other than a specific odor. I just don't like the idea of diluting the product, as I like it to do the job intended. However I know you can add solvents which dissipate over time.

Yes you can. I have used both orange and lemon with no problem. Make sure you're using small amounts like a couple of drops.

The "pots" are each separate in a way and drip into the lower level so it doesn't take as much soil as you might think. I used regular potting soil I think...I know I didn't mix anything special in.

I think it took about 1-1/2 large bags of potting mix. We have had great results with this, by the way.

I made several preserves that used citrus fruit and they turned out fine. I also made fruit butters that turned out fine as well. Hope this helps.

No. I use lemon, wild orange, and bergamot in mine all the time. I've had great luck with it!

No it's just for citrus halves: mainly for orange juice, but possibly could be used for lemon, lime, tangerine, or grapefruit.

Sure a reg spray bottle will work for a time . It may eventually gum up or the Citrus will effect some of the parts in the sprayer

You can buy a kit that comes with the potting mix and fertilizer, but this is just the box. If you purchase this one you will need potting mix (make sure it's potting mix and not potting soil), non-water soluble fertilizer and lime. The potting mix can be reused each year, you will just replace the fertilizer with new fertilizer and add lime.

I'd recommend at least 1:1. I always start with 2 parts thinner to 1 part. Just for a deep soak in seal. But I use d-limolene citrus base. Great, fast, safe.

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.

There are better fertilizers specifically for citrus. I always use a citrus fertiizer for citrus and Miracle Gro for flowers.

I mixed hydroton with regular potting soil for my Peace lily. I don't really notice a difference for the plant though.

Yes, I bought this specifically for pealing citrus fruit for cocktails. Works well on grapefruit, oranges lemons and limes. Depending on how much pressure you apply, it will or will not leave the white part of the rind behind.
