Is this fertilizer ok for citrus plants?

Hi, yes it is, however use 1/2 of what the directions say per gallon so that the plant gets food at every watering :) hope this helps. IF needed you can increase the food/water ratio. I have found half per one gallon works great

It's a very general plant food and good for all plants but you might want to get something specific to fruit or citrus

I only use the Schultz Plant food on my indoor plants, three or four types, no citrus. I use the granular, disolve-in-water Miracle Grow on my outside plants, no citrus.The ratio of Nitrogen (N) to Phosphate (P) to Soluble Potash (K), is what is important to different plants. I did a little research on the web and I don't think the Schultz Plant food is the correct ratio. Schultz, at least this type of Schultz, is 10/15/10. There are many different opinions as to the correct ratio of NPK for citrus. But I like the results I get from Schultz on my indoor plants. I fertilize every time I water, it's easy to use, and the 8 oz. bottle lasts me a long time, at least a year. I only use the Schultz Plant food on my indoor plants, three or four types, no citrus.

The numbers on the front (10-15-10) signify amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium. I've never grown citrus before, but I can tell you this is the BEST "all-purpose" fertilizer I've ever used. My indoor & outdoor plants are HUGE & healthy from using Schultz the last 12 years.

Label says good for trees, fruits and berries ... almost anything. There are probably more specific fertilizers recommended for CITRUS. Search around.

Though this is sometimes advertised as a fertilizer, it is not. It technically has NPK levels but they are minuscule (0.15, 0.15, 5.23) other than Potassium (K). It is an additive that supplies the soil with uncommon nutrients. Think of it like a vitamin for your plant; it uses what it needs and disregards the rest. In fact I would say you would ALWAYS want to use this in conjunction with a real fertilizer keeping in mind that azomite supplies some Potassium (K) already. Azomite minerals (the company) tested growing tomatos using soil that was 25% azomite and the plants did fine. It will not burn your plants like normal fertilizer will contrary to what many of the other commenters here are saying. I would visit azomite faq for more REAL information : http://www.azomite.com/faq.html

I wouldn't think so as the fertilizer is water soluble and works its way down to the roots in solution.

I use it for every single plant I have. It has worked so well with my orchids that I started using it on everything. My winter blooming orchids are all still blooming and they are still growing flower spikes. This is the only fertilizer I use now. It's very gentle and does not burn anything.

I suppose for a short time you woul probably be fine. But it isn't the correct material for use with citrus oils. Directions don't say..

N 2%, P 1%, K 1%. Not very strong fertilizer, but time release granules and our trees have never looked better (growing some of them over 30 years BTW). Make sure to follow the instructions on how much per diameter of trunk.

Yes, I've used these on my own Dwarf Citrus with excellent sucess. I would use only 1/2 of a entire stake placed on outside of pot/covered in soil.

Negligible on all three counts. It's not about "fertilizing" the plants. It's about the hormonal effects that seaweed has on plants. I use it on Stag Horn ferns, all of my orchids and various other plants such as those in hanging baskets. If you use Seaweed or Kelp, don't omit the fertilization. It's not meant to be used in place of a good fertilizer. Any decent fertilizer will include all the minerals and trace elements you need. The end result is more robust roots. (The better the roots are...the better the uptake of nutrients...the healthier the plant) 1 TBSP per Gal is good. Use once a month.

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.

I'm not sure how it would work on a fruit-bearing citrus tree. I used this product on a Southern Live Oak and it worked really well. In fact, I bought some more. I apply it about four times a year. Initially the leaves of the oak tree were yellow and I could see light-green "veins" on the leaf, which I believe is an indication of iron deficiency. They turned green a few days after the application of this product. Regarding the surfactant, I am not familiar with it, so can't provide any advice about adding it.

I personally haven't used this on avocado or citrus. I have used it on indian hawthorn and palms. It works great for these. The package insert says to use 4 tsp/gallon of water for the avocado and 2-4 tsp for citrus. Hope this helps.

Yes you can safely but would recommend getting an organic Bougainvillea fertilizer. I live in a Bougainvillea friendly state, Arizona, & I use both types fertilizer. The Bougainvilla fertilizer is I believe better for Bougainvillea. :)

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.

Of Course it can be used for citrus. these things are very stout. If they can squeeze a pom they can sure as heck squeeze an orange. Unfortunately the one I ordered was broken in transit so I ended up purchasing an OrangeX (which BTW works perfectly well on Poms). I may have received a flawed one. the company wanted to send me a new one but i already had the OrangeX.

it can be used for oranges for sure. if Grapefruit is too large for the 4-inch diameter press then it may not work. lemons are too small for this press.

The chelated Iron is simply a very soluble iron supplement which is easier for the plant to uptake. If your Citrus trees are iron deficient then this will help. It should not have any negative effects on your tree either way.
