Growing citrus trees is a rewarding experience, but keeping them healthy and productive requires the right nutrients. If you're looking to boost your citrus harvest across New Zealand—or specifically in Auckland—Epsom salt is one of the most effective and affordable solutions available.
Why Epsom Salt for Citrus?
Citrus trees thrive on magnesium, and Epsom salt is packed with it. A magnesium deficiency shows up as yellowing leaves with green veins, stunted growth, and reduced fruit production. Regular applications of Epsom salt can restore vigor, increase flowering, and improve fruit quality. Whether you're tending lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit trees, Epsom salt works across all citrus varieties.
How to Use Epsom Salt on Citrus
The application is simple. Dissolve Epsom salt in water and apply it to the soil around your tree's base, or spray it directly onto leaves during the growing season. Most growers apply it two to three times per year for best results. The exact dosage depends on tree size and soil condition, but a general rule is one to two tablespoons per mature tree.
