Fertilize citrus trees in the spring and summer. The ability of a citrus tree to use nutrients in fertilizer depends largely on whether or not it is growing in the proper soil. Citrus trees most often need nitrogen, although they may also be deficient in minor nutrients.
The tree will adapt to lower light conditions, but if you are after fruit production, the citrus needs direct sunlight (five to six hours a day). Plant the citrus tree in soil with a considerable amount of organics such as leaf mold, peat moss (Use peat in the soil mix to keep the pH down) or compost. A mix of one-third sterile potting soil, one-third peat and one-third organic matter works well. Relative humidity is an important factor in the growth of citrus.
