Is this ok for fruit baring citrus? If so, how and when do apply? Should I add a surfactant ?

I'm not sure how it would work on a fruit-bearing citrus tree. I used this product on a Southern Live Oak and it worked really well. In fact, I bought some more. I apply it about four times a year. Initially the leaves of the oak tree were yellow and I could see light-green "veins" on the leaf, which I believe is an indication of iron deficiency. They turned green a few days after the application of this product. Regarding the surfactant, I am not familiar with it, so can't provide any advice about adding it.

We are using it when leaves tend to get yellow. Make sure it is not from over watering. And fertilizer you normally use. But not all together

Iron Chelate is good for any plants and no you shouldn't need to add a surfactant. The Iron Chelate is for plants that have to grow in soil that do not have natural Iron for the plants to take up to turn them green. Check your soil to see if you even need the iron chelate. I have almost none in my soil so it really helps my trees a lot.

The chelated Iron is simply a very soluble iron supplement which is easier for the plant to uptake. If your Citrus trees are iron deficient then this will help. It should not have any negative effects on your tree either way.

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

I have a couple of diffusers and using citrus oil, I use orange one a lot, so far so good. Didn't damage my favorite one, ZAQ Noor Lite. Good luck!

Mixing it with an acidic juice (orange, grapefruit etc.) at 'room temperature' blends best and results in minimal clumping. Lemon juice versus apple cider works best if you plan on using it as a body/facial mask.

I used miracle grow for citrus plants. Well draining soil. They are doing great! Tripled in size. Have to keep inside over winter so hopefully in the spring they will take off!!

I think it would work great honestly... I want to get a couple more. The manufacturer suggests using it for lemon juice, now I want one to spray lemon juice and water on my fruit for my kids lunches :) best of luck

I use my orange squeezer for all citrus that fits. It's the only one that I have ever used and it works great for what I need as I have arthritis in my hands...so I may not be getting the all the juice possible.

Sure a reg spray bottle will work for a time . It may eventually gum up or the Citrus will effect some of the parts in the sprayer

I never use Bacteriostatic treatment in my humidifiers. I bought a bottle and read the label which said use gloves to handle. I certainly wouldn't want to be breathing that in especially since I purchased this for my kids room who were infants at the time! I instead invested in a bottle of grapefruit seed extract (purchased on Amazon - Nutribiotic Gse Liquid Concentrate) which is a natural purifier. My wicks now last all winter long. I have never seen mold or mildew on them or in the reservoir by simply adding 10-12 drops every time I fill the tank. One bottle has lasted me 4 years and is still 1/3 full.

I scoop to a gallon of water with two tablespoons of non ionic surfactant ( rinse aid). Use in pump up sprayer.

There are better fertilizers specifically for citrus. I always use a citrus fertiizer for citrus and Miracle Gro for flowers.

Yes, I added orange oil. Smells great. But the oil is clogging up the filter...so I am not getting as much steam. I switched to a clean filter and its working fine again...so I guess I wouldn't recommend adding oil because it effects the output of steam. :)

I suppose for a short time you woul probably be fine. But it isn't the correct material for use with citrus oils. Directions don't say..

Anything that will suds-up should be avoided... it would cause the foam to overflow like a scene out of a comedy! Bath salts, however, seem to work well. So, I judge what a product does when I add it to running bath water, if it suds up, I avoid it, if it dissolves with very little foaming, I use it. (Johnson's Foot Soap will foam up like a geyser in Yellowstone!)

I put some in the fillable tank when I am done filling. The anti-bacterial does foam up a bit, that is why I pour it in at the end.

you could simply use something like ivory liquid but I recommend using a surfactant specifically for use on plants

No clue on that. I know we have tried it on most citrus based fruits with no issues, but keep in mind its a press, it just exerts pressure down on the fruit to squeeze out the juice.
