Citrus Plant Fertiliser – NPK 6-2-12 + Trace Elements (For Lemon, Lime, Orange & Mandarin Trees)
A citrus-specific, potassium-rich fertiliser formulated to support strong flowering, better fruit set, and healthier citrus growth. The 6-2-12 ratio is intentionally weighted toward potassium (K) to suit citrus fruit trees during bloom and fruit development, while providing steady nitrogen for leaf flush and enough phosphorus to support roots without overloading the soil.
Suitable for common citrus varieties including:
- Lemon trees (Eureka, Lisbon, Meyer)
- Lime trees (Tahitian/Persian, Key lime)
- Orange trees (Navel, Valencia, Blood orange)
- Mandarins, grapefruit, kumquat, calamondin/calamansi and finger limes
Suitable for both in-ground and potted citrus. Apply to the soil around the root zone for best results and keep watering consistent during warmer months.
Directions for Use:
- Shake well before use
- Mix 4ml per litre of water
- Apply once a week during the growing season
- In other seasons, apply once every 4 weeks

What Citrus NPK 6-2-12 Means
A potassium-rich citrus fertiliser (often searched as citrus fertilizer, lemon plant fertilizer or lemon tree fertilizer) designed to support healthier growth, stronger flowering and better fruit development in citrus trees. 6-2-12 keeps nitrogen steady for leaf flush, phosphorus lower for balance, and potassium higher to support fruiting performance.
- Fruiting support: Higher potassium (12) helps with flowering, fruit set and fruit fill.
- Steady growth: Moderate nitrogen (6) supports healthy leaves without pushing overly leafy growth.
- Micronutrient support: Magnesium + sulphur and chelated trace elements help maintain leaf colour and uptake.

The 6-2-12 ratio is set up for citrus feeding patterns: nitrogen supports canopy and new leaf flush, phosphorus supports roots, and higher potassium helps the tree perform when it’s flowering and carrying fruit. This is why a citrus plant fertilizer with extra potassium is commonly chosen over a general high-nitrogen fertiliser.
What citrus is it for? Suitable for lemon trees (Eureka, Lisbon, Meyer), lime trees (Tahitian/Persian, Key lime), orange trees (Navel, Valencia, Blood orange), mandarins, grapefruit, kumquat, calamondin/calamansi and finger limes. Works for both in-ground and potted citrus.
- When to fertilise citrus trees: Feed most consistently during active growth and fruiting, then reduce frequency as growth slows.
- How to apply: Apply to the soil around the root zone (avoid the trunk). Water first if soil is dry for more even uptake.
- Potted citrus tip: Pots leach nutrients faster, so consistent feeding and watering usually gives the best results.

Reviews From Our Gardener's
Used on my potted lemon, leaves went greener fast and flowering improved. Easy to mix.

We’ve been using it as a citrus fertiliser for our oranges and mandarin. Steady healthy growth and noticeably better fruit set since starting weekly feeds.

FAQ
A potassium-rich citrus fertiliser is usually best because citrus needs extra potassium for flowering, fruit set, and fruit fill. That’s why an NPK like 6-2-12 works well: enough nitrogen for healthy leaves, with higher potassium to support stronger fruiting and tree resilience. For best results, look for added magnesium + sulphur to keep foliage deep green, plus trace elements like iron, zinc and manganese for reliable nutrient uptake, especially in pots or higher pH soils.
In Australia, the best time to fertilise citrus trees is when they’re actively growing, which is typically spring through early autumn, but it depends on your climate zone. In warmer areas, citrus can put on growth for longer; in cooler areas, growth slows earlier and winter feeding can be reduced. The most practical way to time it is to watch the tree: when you see new flushes of leaves, buds forming, flowering starting, or fruitlets beginning to size up, that’s when the tree benefits most from regular feeding. If you’re asking “when to fertilize citrus trees,” the goal is to support the tree before and during flowering and then through fruit development, not just after it looks hungry. Overfeeding during cold months usually doesn’t help because nutrient uptake slows, and it can encourage tender growth that doesn’t handle cold as well. A simple seasonal approach is frequent feeding during the growing season, then spacing feeds out as temperatures drop.
Feed citrus weekly during the growing season for steady growth, flowering, and fruit development, then drop back to about once every 4 weeks outside the growing season as growth slows. Potted citrus usually needs more consistent feeding because nutrients leach faster. For young trees, keep it steady rather than heavy, and apply to moist soil around the root zone for more even uptake.
Yes, this type of citrus fertiliser is suitable for both potted and in-ground citrus and can be used across most common citrus varieties. It works well as a fertiliser for lemon trees, lime trees and orange trees, and also suits mandarins, grapefruit, pomelo, kumquat, calamondin/calamansi and finger limes. The reason it works across the citrus family is that their feeding needs are broadly similar: they want steady nutrition, good potassium support during fruiting, and access to trace elements that can become limited in certain soils or potting mixes. Potted citrus often shows nutrient issues sooner because the root zone is smaller and watering leaches nutrients faster, so trace elements and magnesium support can make a noticeable difference in leaf colour and growth quality. For best results, apply around the dripline/root zone (not against the trunk), keep watering consistent during hot weather, and stick to a routine rather than doing occasional heavy feeds. If your tree is flowering heavily or carrying a big crop, consistent feeding becomes even more important because fruit is a major nutrient sink.
