Lemons & Oranges from Pips ?
In article , "Sue & Bob Hobden" writes: | "Nick wrote in message | | I am still a bit vague on the correct feeding regime for citrus plants. | Any | recommendations ? | | The usual one is never to feed a plant in its dormant or inactive | seasons.

It will obviously depend on the conditions you keep them in, but mine are essentially dormant. This is partly because they are pretty cool, but probably more because of the lack of light. It isn't a true dormancy, which is why I said "or inactive" - growth is unlikely to be vigorous.
