Using smartpots with citrus

7 years ago
I have a ponderosa lemon that almost died last year from root rot. I saved it thanks largely to you guys, honorable mention to meyer_mike. Its time to transfer it to a larger pot.

Its in a 12in pot filled with 5-1-1 (I had forgotten to add lime at first so it might still have acidic soil). I bought a 5gal smart pot and I need help for the mix.

Question 1: Will a 5-1-1 mix retain enough moisture for a smart pot?

Question 2: How much lime do I add because I don't wanna screw it up again.
