Hello all, Interested in some advice for this plant: #2 (jungle-keeper suggested Citrus sp.) I think these are cherry or orange seeds I planted. Interested in the best way to take care of them.
You may want to thin out the seedlings in the pot while they're still young since it'll be hard to do so later on. You should be aware that it could be many years (10-15) before they will mature and start to produce flowers. Medium should retain moisture and be quick to drain. Amend typical peat-based potting mixture with medium sized bark chips and perlite. Allow medium to dry somewhat before watering. Feed with high nitrogen fertilizer such as 30-10-10. Do you remember what kind of orange the seed came from?
It was a seed from a bag of organic oranges that we purchased; Unfortunately none of us can remember what kind of orange it was. Next time we buy a bag I will try to amend this post with the info, if they are even the same oranges. This isn't the only one we have sprouting. We have this pot, plus another and two more in the greenhouse.
