Use a large container. The container must have drainage holes in the bottom to allow excess water to escape. 2. Ensure the plant to be potted is thoroughly moist before potting. 3. Partially fill a clean, free draining container with Garden Time™ Fruit & Citrus Mix. 4. Place the plant in the container and adjust the mix under the plant until it is at the desired height. 5. Fill the rest of the container to approximately 2cm from the top, gently tapping to ensure the mix distributes throughout the roots. ##### In-Ground Growing Dig a hole to 3-4 times the size of the root ball and half fill with Garden Time™ Fruit & Citrus Mix. Gently place plant in the hole so it is at the correct level and fill with Garden Time™ Fruit & Citrus Mix, gently firming around the plant. ##### After Care For best results use **[Garden Time™ Fruit & Citrus Fertiliser](/products/garden-timetm-fruit-citrus-fertiliser)** when top dressing or additional feeding is required. Refer to packaging for instructions. ## Useful guides ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg) ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg) [ ![](/sites/default/files/styles/page_listing_2xl/public/2024-03/how_to_grow_citrus_orange_flowers_crop.jpg.avif?itok=riRg_DMO) ##### How to Grow Citrus Citrus are the crown jewels of Kiwi backyards, offering fragrant blooms and fruit that burst with nutrition and flavour. ](/gardening-guides/how-to-grow-citrus "How to Grow Citrus") [ ![](/sites/default/files/styles/page_listing_2xl/public/2024-05/apple_tree_growing_fruit_trees.jpg.avif?itok=pRR-EZrW) ##### How to Grow Fruit Trees Indulge in the satisfaction of growing your own juicy fruit! ](/gardening-guides/how-to-grow-fruit-trees "How to Grow Fruit Trees") ## Related Information ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg) ![](/themes/custom/b_three/images/icon-svgs/caret.svg) [ ![](/sites/default/files/styles/page_listing_2xl/public/tulips_is35312002_full.jpg.avif?itok=HWkc90zF) ##### Should I Leave Tulip Bulbs in Pots or Lift Them?
