Down To Earth Citrus Mix 6-3-3 Organic Fertilizer 5 lb

South Florida is one of the best places in the country to grow citrus, avocados, and tropical fruit trees — but the sandy, nutrient-leaching soil here works against you if you're not feeding consistently. Down To Earth Citrus Mix is built specifically for this kind of growing environment.

The 6-3-3 formula leads with nitrogen — all of it water insoluble and slow-release, meaning it breaks down gradually through microbial activity rather than washing out with every rain or irrigation cycle. That's critical in Florida's wet season where synthetic fertilizers flush out almost immediately. The nitrogen drives the glossy green foliage and vigorous new growth that healthy citrus and avocado trees need, while the phosphorus and potassium support root development, flowering, and fruit production.

What separates this from generic citrus fertilizers is the micronutrient package. Zinc sulfate addresses one of the most common deficiencies in South Florida citrus — zinc is frequently depleted in alkaline sandy soils and shows up as yellowing leaves between the veins. Langbeinite delivers magnesium and sulfate of potash without raising soil pH. Basalt adds silicon and a broad spectrum of trace minerals that feed soil biology rather than just the plant directly. And 2.5% humic acids from leonardite improve nutrient uptake at the root level by chelating minerals and increasing cation exchange capacity.
