How to Use
For Conventional Planters: Partially fill a container with CITRUSPON, position your citrus tree at its original planting depth, and gently fill around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and allow excess water to drain. Adjust watering based on your plant's needs and growing conditions.

Water from above during the initial root establishment period before transitioning to the self-watering system according to the planter's instructions.
