Thank you! I know it'll take a few years to get fruit but that's okay. I'm just excited it's been this successful this far. I've only been dabbling in all this for a few years now and I'm still learning, so I'm loving this! I'm still afraid to move it just yet, I don't want to screw this up!! And there's hardly any information regarding clementine trees specifically out there. I'm not sure what my next steps should be after repotting, just keep doing what I'm doing? I'm so nervous!!

My Viennetta isn't blooming yet, but it survived -20 F this past winter. It's over 4 feet tall and has plenty of buds. It is definitely slower to start than the other clems. Somebody suggested burying it in leaves or mulch during the winter and that has worked very well for me.

If it makes you feel any better . . . Years ago my wonderful son decided to tape pictures to his new bedroom furniture. Now, this was not top of the line furniture, more crappy laminate furniture that was all we could afford at the time. Anyways, when the tape was removed, so was the very thin laminate underneath :( . I ended up getting this super cool decals that could be taken off and re-applied with no damage and covering the bare spots. I had loads of people trying to buy this same furniture when I sold it on ebay, and no one cared about those bare spots. On the other hand, I found him writing on a piece of paper that was lying on his brand new maple floor with a black sharpie and freaked out. Then, I got some windex and sprayed the part that had seeped onto the wood floor. It just dissapeared! Before I even wiped it off! You win some, you lose some.

Greg, unless you are willing to put in a good amount of effort, and what can for many a new gardener mean quite a bit of money, it's often best to learn and build a good soil over time. The learning will include a decision to grow, or not to grow organically, and to what extent that is important to you and your family. Many, like myself, religiously avoid what we consider poisons - such as chemical herbicides and pesticides. However, if someone where to give me synthetic fertilizers such as MG, I wouldn't turn it down. Because I have a personal issue with supporting that industry, I wouldn't purchase such products, and I even recommend that others avoid such products. However, even today I added a 6-12-12 farm co-op synthetic fertilizer to my eggplants. It was free, and would have gone to a landfill had I not 'rescued' it. Chemically speaking, for the most part, as long as it's used as a supplement instead of the 'backbone' of the soil structure, the differences between synthetic and organic fertilizers are hardly worth the arguments that sometimes arise. I'll sparingly use that fertilizer until it's gone. Using such products on decorative houseplants is more practical for many who are just starting out. I have found that organics are much 'better' (well rounded, higher buffering capacity, supports the natural environment in which the plants have evolved to grow, etc, etc...) for my life-style and the health of the garden. As others have suggested, MG will not truly replace a good soil, but it will support plant life. In fact, for plants to grow and - depending on your personal definitions - thrive, soil isn't required at all. Hydroponics prove that assertion. As for 'quality soil' brought into your space, unless you know the history of that product forget that word 'quality'. Even the best store-bought top soils are lacking in many nutrients. Depending on where you live and what was done to it in the past, your regular backyard 'dirt' may be better. I have clay where I live, and while it lacks organic matter, it is EXTREMELY nutritious. So, learn what organic matter is available to you locally. Start and learn about your own compost piles. One good rule of thumb (and yes this is simplistic,) for a long-term healthy garden, feed the worms, not the plants. Then learn about the conditions each plant enjoys and make the minor adjustments accordingly. Next year, very early, get a soil test done. Learn what and how to add organics to your soil. Try not to over-think it. Forests and natural environments do quite nicely by just dropping last year's growth on the top of the ground. The key to nature, as others have suggested, is the structure and biology of the soil. Worms, good bugs, fungi, bacteria and soil microbes are where it's at. Learn how to 'farm' those critters and you'll do well. As for now, if you notice pale colors, or the plants seem to be showing unhealthy signs, the internet is a modern gardener's friend. Search the conditions you see, and act accordingly. As you've already done, ask questions. If you choose, add synthetic supplements such as MG erring on the side of less-can-be-more. It's easy to add more after a week or so, but sometimes quite impossible to remove. Read the labels as especially the liquids have a high bio-availability. Since you jumped in, if you do notice issues, synthetics can get you through the early days and even benefit the plants until you can improve your knowledge and skill.
