Hi, I live in Southern California. Ive successfully air layered a lemon and calamnsi. Ive since put them in a pot 2 weeks ago and started to see new growth. Do I put them under an all day sun or in the shade? Thanks, your videos are very helpful. 😀

[@marcelinanoss8825]

whenever you transplant any plant it goes through transplant shock. Some plants will exhibit it more than others, However, place your newly potted citrus in part sun, part shade for the first two weeks to acclimate them and give them a chance together their feet on the ground. Then you can place them in full sunlight. Congrats on your rooting! Keep Growing!

Hi, How to make micro green soil and spray for alcohol spray water which you used in your video? Can you send me a link? Thank you for sharing all your video.

[@tomknack]

I didn't know Clonex had a spray. I see they call it Clonex Mist. I'm going to try it. Thanks.

greetings from New Zealand. really nice watching you, your dedication and enthusiasm. just to clarify, rooting the cuttings will never achieve strong root ball and the root system will be prone do dying. so best it to grow a plant from seed as the rootstock. and then grafting onto that rootstock? i dont see much point in grafting onto the rooted cuttings...?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

you can do it either way. Calamondin is a very strong plant. The problem with using seeded plant is it takes 3 years to mature before you can graft onto it. You will also have to use a differnt style of grafting technique which will scare most novice gardeners away. The way i shoed in the video is easy enough for most people to perform, You are right about using the deeded plant for the root stock if youhave that much patience and time to wait, thanks for your input,, much appreciated,, thanks!

@@marcelinanoss8825 thank you , this is v helpful info that sheds more light as to why techqnique can be preferred over another one. did not realise that i would needto wait 3 years. i guess im not that patient :)

Marcelina, how can I get a young citrus tree to fork into three main shoots, I want to do a three way graft of Navel Orange, Meyers Lemon, and Key Lime? Thank you

[@marcelinanoss8825]

most important is to find a good root stock for this. here is a good start for you,, good luck! Trifoliate Orange (Poncirus trifoliata): This rootstock is highly resistant to citrus tristeza virus and provides good anchorage. However, it tends to produce larger trees and can delay fruiting. Carrizo citrange: A popular rootstock known for its compatibility with a wide range of citrus varieties. It offers good resistance to citrus tristeza virus and nematodes. Swingle citrumelo: Another widely used rootstock, known for its resistance to citrus blight and citrus tristeza virus. It produces trees of medium size.

[@vinonihilario5231]

is it ok to use grapefruit or dalandan for orange and lemon grafting?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

sure

[@cmcd9213]

Very helpful video. Can any kind of citrus be grated together, such as an orange and lime, etc? Can a seed grown lemon and a seed grown lime be grafted to produce good fruit?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

yes you can but not a good idea, you can graft a seed grown citrus or lime because they citrus grown from seed requires years before they produce their first blossom.

[@rynophiliac]

do you do your cuttings in the spring time?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

late spring and late summer

[@marcelinanoss8825]

yes late spring,, like 1st of june

[@karlblanx4140]

Does meyer lemon rootstock work good for all citrus? Excellent fruit and what not.?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

No, actually Meyer isnt used as a rootstock, however here are a few that are widely used. Trifoliate orange, Carrizo citrange, Swingle citrumelo, Flying Dragon, Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni): This rootstock is commonly used in warm, arid regions as it offers good resistance to salinity and drought. It has moderate cold tolerance and induces moderate tree vigor. These are just a few examples of the rootstocks used in grafting citrus trees. The best rootstock for your specific circumstances depends on factors such as local climate, soil conditions, disease prevalence, and desired tree size. It's recommended to consult with local agricultural extension services or citrus experts who are familiar with your specific region to determine the most suitable rootstock for your citrus grafting project. Hope this helps you :)

​@@marcelinanoss8825is the bud the part where the leaf grows? And also where do you get grafting tape

[@karlblanx4140]

Are they going to be dwarf trees or fully grown?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

it depends on the mother tree. If the original plant that the graft was taken from is a dwarf variety then the tree will be a dwarf as well

[@karlblanx4140]

What kind of tree is the rootstock cutting?

[@marcelinanoss8825]

Eureka lemon

[@jovitosy5441]

Hi!Marcelina.ang sabi nila ,when you grow eurica lemon from seeds ,it will not give you fruits.How true is this? Jovi frm PHils.

[@marcelinanoss8825]

it will grow fruit, but you will have to wait more than 7 years before flowering takes plant, always get grafter or airlayered citrus
