Neutrog Gyganic and Richgro Soluble Powder. Which to use when in Perth WA.
Here is the quick-reference summary for your spring garden plan in Perth:
1. Right Now: Apply Neutrog Gyganic Pellets Use your Neutrog Gyganic pellets immediately to get structural growth moving.
- Vegetable Seedlings (In-Ground): Scatter pellets lightly around them right now. They desperately need the nitrogen and phosphorus to build healthy roots, leaves, and stems.
- 25cm & 30cm Potted Citrus: Apply a modest handful to the topsoil of these larger pots right now. This establishes a complete nutrient base to feed the tree structure.
- Skip the tiny 5L pots for Gyganic—they are too small for slow-release organic pellets and can burn.
2. In Two Weeks: Follow with Richgro Soluble Powder
Once the citrus trees have a solid base of nutrition and their flower buds begin opening up fully, transition to the Richgro Soluble Powder .
- ALL Potted Citrus (5L, 25cm, and 30cm): Dissolve the powder into a watering can. Drench the soil of all your citrus pots once a week for 3 to 4 weeks while they bloom.
- The Goal: The instant-release potassium locks the delicate blossoms onto the branches, so they don't drop off in the hot afternoon sun, successfully turning the flowers into tiny fruits.
3. Early Summer: Return to Gyganic Once the flowering period finishes and you see actual, tiny green citrus fruits safely formed on the branches, stop using the Potash powder. Give your 25cm and 30cm pots another light top-dress of Gyganic pellets to feed the fruit as it expands over the summer.
