Citrus trees are an excellent choice for an indoor plant in the winter, or outside on the patio, deck or porch in the spring and summer. Citrus trees have beautiful and very fragrant flowers in the springtime and they really do bear fruit! |
Potted citrus plants typically do not grow much more than four or five feet tall.
They
do require lots of sunlight. In the fall and winter, these plants will do well in a south-facing window, or under a grow light. In the springtime they will soak up the sun, and after the dark indoor months, they will burst forth with sudden new growth.
These compact attractive citrus trees are easy to grow. They don't require any pruning, except perhaps for a little shaping and trimming of any dead wood. These plants all prefer good drainage and prefer a high-nitrogen diet, such as a 3-1-1 formulation once every month.
Typical indoor temperatures are fine for these trees during the winter. In the early spring, the trees appreciate being gradually hardened off to the outside weather by daily trips outdoors during the daylight hours. Bring them in at night if there is a chance of frost. |
