Care

General Maintenance: While a dwarf variety of lime tree is the best choice when growing in a container, the tree will undoubtedly need repotting after 3 - 4 years, with fresh soil. The size of the tree, is directly related to the size of the pot.

Temperature: 18 to 29 degrees Celsius is best for lime trees.

Light: They love the sun! Chose a location with at least 8 hours of direct sun.

Watering: Water is of primary importance to your potted lime tree and is gauged by the size of the tree and temperatures. Reduce watering prior to winter to avoid the possibility of stimulating growth that may become damaged in cooler temps. Overwatering can become an issue, but don't let the tree dry out completely! Allow the upper inch (3 cm.) of the soil to dry out before watering.

Soil: These trees do best with a well draining soil.

Fertilizer: Fertilize the lime tree monthly until midsummer, and never after July.
