Place the plant at the same depth it was growing, backfill with amended soil, and water deeply. In containers, use a pot with drainage holes slightly larger than the shipping container and bring it indoors when temperatures consistently drop below 40°F. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged, and mist foliage daily to maintain the humidity this plant enjoys. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon \/ 6\"","offer_id":45832063058106,"sku":"30071","price":179.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon \/ 8\"","offer_id":45832063090874,"sku":null,"price":299.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/calamondin-bush-fl_ed6c2fc4-97c6-4353-a02f-6074d706b562.jpg?v=1777509846","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/calamondin-bush-fl","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
