Down To Earth Citrus Mix is built specifically for this kind of growing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFull ingredient list: Feather Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Langbeinite, Basalt, Potassium Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Kelp Meal, and 2.5% Humic Acids from Leonardite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOMRI Listed and CDFA Registered for certified organic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWorks on citrus trees of all types (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit), avocados, mangos, fruit trees, vines, container plants, and ornamentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication rates:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNew trees: mix 1 cup into the backfill soil when planting.
