Top Tips
  • For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.
  • Feed with specialist citrus feed regularly in spring and summer.
  • Care Information
    • Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-June to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
    • Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.

    Watering:

    • In summer, water freely - ideally using rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
    • Our beautiful Mediterranean citrus trees are grown in a slightly heavier growing medium, so be sure to take care when watering. Be sure not to overwater, as with all your plants, but also make sure not to allow the soil to dry out.
