Key Benefits Acidic compost for root growth Loam based to retain & slowly release nutrients for fruit development Added Seramis granules for water management Why Use? Westland Citrus Potting Mix contains unique Seramis granules for optimum water and nutrient availability.

Citrus trees are best potted on in the spring before they start active growth, but they can be potted on at any time in the summer. How to pot up / re-pot? Choose a pot larger than the old one, ensuring it has adequate drainage holes. Cover the base of the pot with crocks to ensure good drainage. Place a layer of potting mix in the bottom of the new pot, and gently tap the old plant from its pot. Fill in around the edges with more Citrus Potting Mix ensuring the top feeder roots are covered with 2cm of fresh potting mix. Water well and keep in light shade for a few weeks to allow new roots to grow. Handy Tips Water thoroughly when required using rainwater where possible. Do not allow plant to stand in water. Spraying the plants daily with water will keep them cool and encourage pollination of flowers. For best results, feed with Westland Citrus Feed.

Regards Westland **Q: Can I use this to grow basil ?** A: If you are potting on basil plants this would be ideal, but for growing from seed a dedicated seed and cutting compost would be more suitable as it has a finer texture and a nutrient package better for seeds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good compost *by J***4 on 12 March 2026* Very happy, I mean you dont get a lot, but it was enough to do a couple of plants.

Pretty decent, didn't notice any stray roots or bugs in it. The soil is on the heavy side of retaining water. Says it has perlite but didn't really see any?? I added some myself. Probably good for normal houseplants but things like snake plant would struggle in this, I think. Overall pretty good for the price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/52670774-citrus-potting-mix](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/52670774-citrus-potting-mix) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
