For container growing, select a pot with drainage holes slightly larger than the nursery container and use citrus-specific potting soil. Water deeply after planting, then maintain a regular watering schedule, allowing the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry completely before watering again—check moisture by inserting your finger 2 inches deep into the soil. During spring and summer, feed with a citrus fertilizer to support blooming and fruiting. In cold climates, bring potted trees indoors before frost or protect outdoor plantings with covering material during winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":45814302933178,"sku":"16730","price":236.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/calamondin-tree-tx.jpg?v=1777509973","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/calamondin-tree-tx","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
