Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight and boost humidity through regular leaf misting. Plant in a container with drainage holes using acidic citrus-formulated potting soil, choosing a pot just slightly larger than the shipped size. Water on a weekly schedule, allowing the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry between waterings—test by inserting your finger into the soil to gauge moisture levels. The tree is self-fertile and will fruit independently, though hand-pollinating blooms with a soft brush increases your overall yield. In regions where winter temperatures regularly drop below 40 degrees, move your containerized tree indoors during cold months and outdoors during warmer seasons.
