Potted Nagami Kumquat needs new soil
Comments (27)But Silica, oh but you do know me and have been around here long enough to know what I have done, said, and what my feelings are about CHC, let alone all the time I spend here.:-( We have met before on many occasions and you read here alot too, enough to see who I am for I do know you;-) ...................................................... Posted by silica (My Page) on Thu, Sep 9, 10 at 11:24 Last Spring I put several of my trees into the 4-1 CHC peat mix. The growth on these trees was absolutely fantastic, far surpassed my other citrus. Actually unbelieveable. Also it is very assureing that a citrus tree growing in a 4-1 CHC mix cannot be damaged from over watering. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RE: Updated trees from Coconut Husk Chips to the 5.1.1 mix. Pictu clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 9, 10 at 12:21 That is the thing Silica.. Not that I am not happy for you, in fact proud of you.. But I have asked so many times for help to be able to grow them as you say you did, and there is rarely anyone to help! Where are the pictures of the trees, the close up shots of the CHC mix, the instructions, the fertilizer regimend you use, the step by step instructions, the suppliers, the evidence,the support...ect? Are we at the wrong forum for all the CHC experts and the pictures? Are you able to answer questions about nutritional defficiencies and how to correct them? How many did you loose over the years figuring the stuff out? Did you wash it? How do you keep the salts out? How do you keep the pH perfect? There might be many here that are still interested at giving it a try.. My plants would of died in that stuff by the time anyone could tell me what to do.. It is nice to know ...................................... I guess sometime forget. We have had many past conversations and at times nice, and at time have not agrred on certain things. I think you missed my whole point about thinking about giving it a try and being pushed back even further because people that have used CHC run from healthy debate and still have yet to prove the science behind it and support the evidence so that ones like me can be convinced or have a reason to use them once again or for the first time. I am not upset at what was said toward Al, no not at all, in fact he can defend himself, although I must admit I was a bit perturbed because I was not the only one that understood it the way I saw it, but I am dissapointed in the way the conversations end, like what you did, in which it is always the ones that use bark that continue to prove the superiority of it, and the ones that use CHC chips that leave. It sounds fishy to me, that's all. If you don't care what I use, then why are you here trying to convince us, me, others that CHC works better and advantages of it over bark? I know that people like Al care about what I use, and that is why I continue to follow those that do have a concern for my success and for what is really best for my trees. Not harm intended, no hard feelings, for as I said, I also respect you in your crusade to purswade others that CHC is the way to go, and I accept any misunderstandings. Have a great weekend nad thanks for your time. Thank you Jodi and thank you for your well said post too! Mike;-)...See MoreIs anything wrong with my Nagami kumquat?
Comments (7)You need to be careful on indoor citrus plant feeding. Citrus needs heat, light, and a food water solution. If the plants are missing either warmth or light then food (water solution) can be harmful. The light/growing box picture above is two stories so the plants at the bottom get light 2 hours before the citrus plants on the 2nd story. This heats the floor that the citrus pots sit to about 80 F, while the lights over the citrus warms the trees to 90 F-100 F. Even this way you will have to be very careful on root feeding. I spray the foliage with a 105 F solution of 1/3 strength 30-10-10 Miracid with micros about 3 times a day. It is so dry in the winter that the stems dry out fast enough that the plants don't get sick. Click on the link below to see what a typical tree grown like this would look like. It is a 49 week old, seed grown sweetlee tangerine tree. I realize that this setup is not what you want but having the tree in the white corner with the light in front will work closely to what I have. I would lean towards some foliar feeding with warm solution and minimal root feeding. You will get the hang of what it takes to produce fruit in the winter. I have gotten sweet delicious figs under lights. My seed grown citrus are too young to fruit. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreLemonquat (Sunquat) and kumquat (Nagami) preserves:
Comments (31)Haha Steve, yes I know we are on the same wavelength with our bucket pots. Great taste! Your NZ looks great, yeah my trees seem to want to be bushes so who am I to argue? Less tree to get caught in our whipping winds here anyway so works for me. Thanks hibiscus, good to know! I'll read the instructions first. Steve I have fish fert too but don't use it on my containers plants, other than as a foliar to ward off bugs. There always seems to be lots of debate on the forum about whether organics work in container growing. Do you guys think fish fert micros work in containers?...See More5 one year old seedling Meiwa kumquat trees starting 2018
Comments (44)The fruitless under the can light Meiwa has finished its growth spurt with a total of 44 linear inches of new twigs with fresh leaves. It is now tied for the second biggest of seed grown Meiwa kumquat trees I picked the fruit off the other Meiwa tree at half ripe and the skin was sweet and the flesh was very juicy but not much flavor in sweet or sour. I was afraid a mouse would get it and it was the only fruit from a seed grown tree. I also picked all the much ripper fruit from my grafted meiwa and the fruit was sweet skinned with semi sweet tart flesh. very much worth eating. This will actually be the last entry for this thread from Me and I will continue this discussion in "4 seed grown 2 year old Meiwa kumquat tree for year 2019". I will leave a link to the new thread when I start it. forget what I said above. I did not expect this much change in one of the trees. Steve...See MoreRelated Professionals
