Camquot Calamondin (forum)

au0rey starts with ...
Hi, my camquot calamondin is having lots of new tiny fruits. It is in a large pot of potting mix. At this time, what sort of fertilising or care taken should I do to let its fruits develop successfully into full size? I have given it citrus fertiliser in early spring and feed it seasol and charlie carp regularly (once in two weeks).

I read somewhere and remember vaguely that giving too much nitrogen promotes leaf-growth instead of fruits. Correct me if i am wrong. Trying to draw the balance so that I can have a fruitful harvest this round (lost loads fruits to fruit drop in previous season).

Thanks!

If its in a pot I would recomend nutricote slow release.

Choose one with more N than K, as citrus like more N for leaf growth.
