The biggest mistake gardeners make when planting citrus is burying the root collar too deep. This short explains what the root collar is, why it matters, and how planting too deep suffocates your citrus tree. When soil or mulch covers the collar, moisture accumulates around sensitive tissues, leading to slow decline, fungal disease, and eventual root rot.
You’ll learn exactly how to identify the root collar, how high the soil line should be in the pot, and how to avoid smothering the tree with compost or planting mix. This single correction can dramatically improve your citrus’s health, helping it breathe better, push new growth faster, and resist root-related problems.
If your citrus shows symptoms like yellow leaves, weak branches, or poor fruiting, improper planting depth may be the hidden cause. This quick fix is simple, fast, and essential for long-term success.
