http://melanys.tripod.com/giant.htm They prefer citrus ... but if you have Rue (Ruta gravoleans) plants they will use those. You can move the caterpillars to a larger citrus tree, but they can denude a potted plant in a week or so.

You know this is really the most debated topic. Everyone will give a different opinion on what to do, what to use, etc but the ultimate goal is for you to trial and error for you climate. However there are a few things that are consistent no matter where you are. In particular Meyers are heavy feeders and very sensitive to light and environmental changes. Going in and out can be stressful. Also going from in the house to straight out in the sun is a recipe for disaster so please acclimate it by going to shade first for a week or two then slowly giving it more light. Reverse this process in the fall. My routine for fertilizing is this. During the growing season my trees get Foliage pro 1/2 strength once per week from about now to September. I have used vinegar also but this year Im trying without see if the effects are different. from October to March I give them the same only once per month. My trees go in a greenhouse so they are fairly actively growing in winter. my trees also have a slow release mixed in to supplement during the week. Now this is what works for me and a few others fertilize "weakly" and "weekly" so that may be something for you to start trying and adjust from there. mike Mike

keep it watered but not alot. the base (older leaves) of the plant will show the fertilizer problem and the vines will still be productive. unless you really over did it.

Well, I have to amend the showed in my above Foliage pro label. I assumed that "tsp" is tablespoon (15 ml), but I was wrong, it is teaspoon (5 ml). By the way, it gave very logical values. So ppm N are much lower that those I wrote. The right data are (gotten from here): Maintenance (every watering): 1 part FP in 3000 parts water (1 ml for 3 Lts water) (30 ppm N) Production (weekly): 1 part FP in 1500 parts water (1 ml for 1.5 Lts water) (60 ppm N) to 1 part FP in 750 parts water (1 ml for 0.75 Lts water) (120 ppm N). I am currently astonished, because those ppm N are in my opinion very low for citrus growing. It is commonly assumed that an optimum N ratio for each watering for citrus are between 100 to 150 ppm N. Those recommended for Foliage pro are much lower. I have tested at home the EC of a 100 ppm N of Foliage Pro solution and (with tap water) it is 0.89 dS/m. It is a very safe value, much lower than the maximum recommended for citrus (1.70 dS/m). It would be perfectly possible to water with each watering in a FP/water ratio of 1:1000 (90 ppm N), and even we would be below the recommended N ratio for citrus. So here there is something wrong or I am losing anything.
