Hello all!

Asking this for my mother who just bought a meyer lemon tree at Lowes. It says to use a citrus fertilizer...does anyone have a recommendation? We looked at Lowes and couldn't find anything except for the large outdoor trees.

Thanks! Kim

Try the Acorn Springs website. If I remember correctly, they sell citrus fert.

Thanks GH...I tried looking up their website (both acorn springs and dwarf citrus) but neither work. Perhaps there is something that can be purchased locally rather than online? Oh...I should mention local would be Ohio, not Texas.

Thanks, Kim

This may help, you can put in the zip code you want.

I hope that works.
If it doesnt work, I went to the google search, and clicked the Froogle tab, and put in "fertilizer for citrus trees"

Sorry Shelly, but that link just takes me back to this post. I tried googling but I can try again. Doesn't anyone else have these indoors and fertilize them? Is it ok to just use regular fertilizer?

Thanks, Kim

I have had a meyer lemon tree indoors for about 15 years, although it is outdoors for summer. I use Miracid, and as far as I know, it works fine. If the leaves get too pale, I fertilize more and that makes it look healthier.

Susan...thanks for the tip on the Miracid. Is there a local place you purchase this or do you order it online?

Thanks, Kim

Kim,
Miracid is made by the Miracle Grow folks, and it is available everywhere (hardware, garden, Target, etc.) here in the frozen north. I assume it is sold nationwide, but I don't know that. Hope that helps. If you can't find it, every decent garden store will sell acid fertilizer for your evergreens and azalias, so you could ask for that.
