Bought my first orange tree!
Orange Tree
Welp I’m doing it! I bought an orange tree yesterday. Just repotted it. The new pot is a lot wider but only a tad taller, but it is what I had on hand at the moment. I can’t wait to start seeing flowers!! I was told it may be a couple years so I got a more mature one. More $$ but I should see fruit this summer!!!! Does anyone else have an orange tree? We need to be buds! Ha get it 🤣🤦♀️ This is a big leap for me and I’m crazy excited about this fruit tree journey 💚🧡 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OrangeTree #FruitTrees #GregGang Oh and look at those amazing roots! #RootPorn

Hey! I have some little potted fruit trees. They are awesome 😍😍😍 and citrus blooms are THE BEST SMELL IN THE WORLD. I want to have a lemon bonsai in my kitchen just to smell it all day! Mine love lots of sun. They can get dry but then they want a deeeeeep watering. And watch out for pests, mine were ants and leaf rollers. 🌱☀️❤️
@RealSimpleMama thank you for that info! Do you think a systematic could be entered? I do with my plants but wasn’t sure about fruit
@Boymom-plantmom I’m sure that would be fine. And for me (Texas zone 8b) I don’t feel like it was a huge issue. I was racking my brain to say as many things to help as I could!
Sooo exciting!!🍊 I’d say look into when it’s best time of year to fertilize. You want to encourage new growth when the risk of pests is low. I fertilized my lemon tree a bit later into summer one year and the brand new tender leaves were then vulnerable to leaf miners. Of course I learned that after the fact because I was researching how to get rid of leaf miners! 😫
@MariansOasis what I found was to fertilize right after repotting and then thoroughly water. Which I did.’Though conflicting info on when from now@on. Article I read said once a year but the bag says a few times. It will be a learning experience for sure!
