Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Citrus, Avocado & Mango Plant Food, 8 lb — Slow-Release Fertilizer for Trees

Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Citrus, Avocado and Mango Plant Food is an 8 lb slow-release fertilizer specially formulated to feed citrus, avocado and mango trees for up to three months while improving soil nutrient availability.

Whether you grow a lemon tree on the patio, an avocado in a container, or a backyard mango, this Shake 'n Feed formula supplies balanced micronutrients and soil-loving microbes that convert organic material into plant-available food. It’s designed for both in-ground beds and containers and is applied easily by shaking onto the soil and watering to activate. The product targets common deficiencies with added potassium, magnesium, sulfur and iron while promoting stronger root development through microbial activity.

How does this plant food feed trees for up to three months?

The formula contains slow-release nutrients and organic granules that dissolve gradually, delivering steady nutrition rather than a single flush. Microbes included in the mix help break down compost and organic components, releasing nutrients over an extended period.

• Slow-release granules provide continuous feeding for up to 90 days.
• Microbial action converts organic matter into usable nutrients.
• Nutrient blend includes potassium, magnesium, sulfur and iron for common deficiencies.

How should I apply Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed to potted and in-ground fruit trees?

Application differs slightly for new plantings and established specimens. For in-ground trees, evenly shake onto the soil within the canopy spread, avoid trunk and foliage contact, work lightly into the top 1–3 inches of soil, and water to start nutrient release. For containers, mix into soil at planting or sprinkle and lightly work into the surface for established plants, then water.

• In-ground: apply within branch spread, avoid trunk contact, work into top 1–3" of soil.
• Containers: mix into potting mix at planting or top-dress and lightly work in for established plants.
• Always water after application to activate the formula.

Which plants benefit most from this fertilizer and when should I reapply?

This product is tailored to citrus, avocado and mango species but is also suitable for similar fruiting trees in containers or beds. Apply during the active growing season and schedule reapplication roughly every three months to maintain consistent nutrition throughout spring to fall.

• Primary targets: citrus (lemons, limes, oranges), avocados, mango trees.
• Works for both container-grown and in-ground trees.
• Reapply approximately every 3 months during growing periods.

What benefits do the added micronutrients and microbes provide?

Micronutrients correct common deficiencies that can limit fruit set and foliage health, while microbes help convert organic components into forms plants can use. Together they support healthier root systems and more efficient water uptake without extra application complexity.

• Potassium supports fruit development and general vigor.
• Magnesium and iron address common leaf chlorosis issues.
• Beneficial microbes enhance root strength and nutrient availability.

Who is this for: Home gardeners and hobby growers who want a low-effort, season-long feeding solution for citrus, avocado and mango plants—whether you’re tending indoor containers on a balcony or larger trees in a backyard bed. If you prefer a granular, shake-on fertilizer that reduces the need for frequent feedings and helps correct micronutrient gaps, this 8 lb container offers a practical supply for multiple plants for several seasons.
