Planting: Plant in an area where it can receive full sunlight (8 hours or more per day) in soil that is well-draining. If planted in a container, place your tree in a south-facing window for enough sunlight.  2. Watering: For trees planted in a container, they will require more water than those planted in the ground. In the spring, water 2-3 times per week. In the summer, up your watering to a daily occurrence, so long as the soil doesn’t get soggy. Misting the tree, especially indoors, allows for proper humidity. 3. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring or late winter with a citrus-specific fertilizer, like the one included in our Citrus Care Kit, generally once every six weeks. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2 to 3 months. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag. 4. Pruning: In order to promote growth outwards, prune the tree by cutting back broken, diseased, or dead branches as they develop. Eliminate any crossing or rubbing branches.
