They do best in soils with a great deal of organic matter and the incorporation of peatmoss, bark, sawdusts and composts is usually advised.
Soil: A soil containing a fair amount of organic matter (leafmold, peatmoss or compost) is desirable. Since citrus plants prefer acid conditions, use peat in the potting mix to help keep the pH down.
Do not incorporate organic matter such as peatmoss into backfill for individual planting holes.
Soil, whether it is clay or sandy, should be amended with organic material (compost, well-rotted manure, or peatmoss) to promote percolation and retention.
