Transfer them to individual pots (10-12 inches) or plant them on the ground if you have a garden. When the plant outgrows the old pot, repot it.

Citrus Thrips: These small pests feed on the leaves and fruit of citrus trees, causing them to become distorted.

Trovita: This variety is slightly smaller than Washington’s and produces sour and sweet fruits with few seeds. They are not cold and hardy but can withstand short periods of freezing temperatures. Valencia: This is a large, juicy orange that is perfect for juicing. It’s great for growing in pots, as it only gets to around 10 feet tall. Citrus plants are good to grow as a houseplant because they thrive in the stable warmth that is provided indoors. Citrus plants grow best with temperatures at 18°C during the day, and between 5°C and 10°C at night. In summer, these houseplants can be moved outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. However, as soon as it becomes cold they need to be moved indoors. Also, some citrus plants are more fragile than others. For example, lemon trees can tolerate temperatures down to 5°C, whereas limes can only tolerate temperatures down to 10°C and Calamondin oranges only 13°C. Depending on the type of citrus plant, determine when or if you should move it outdoors in the summer, based on this information. Important: The opening measurement of the decorative pot is the size of the access hole for inserting the plant's grow pot as well as an indication of the minimum liner size needed. It is not the same as the external diameter of the pot which is the overall outer size of the pot. Please note all measurements are approximate and can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of our pots. The best temperature to grow this plant is between 65-90 F (18-32 C). Orange trees prefer warm, sunny climates and tolerate temperatures up to 100 F (38 C). As they are not frost tolerant, make sure temperatures don’t dip too low in the winter for them–if it does, keep your plant inside.

Citrus plants like quite humid environments. Try to place the plant in a room which is naturally humid, such as a bathroom or kitchen. You can also place the plant on pebble trays and mist the leaves as this helps to raise the humidity. Misting the leaves helps keep them cool and encourages pollination of flowers. Watering Nagpur: It is a large-sized variety with a deep orange color. It has a sweet, juicy, and tangy flavor. The skin is thin, and the pulp is firm and juicy.Citrus plants are hungry plants and need regular feeding during the growing season (spring and summer). In this growing period it is best to feed the plants every second watering. They should be fed with a high potassium feed to produce good fruit. We advise Westland Citrus feed as it boosts fruit set. For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit. Gather your materials: potting soil, a new pot, a potting mix containing fertilizer, a trowel, and a pair of garden scissors. To get your containerized orange tree off on the right footing, you need the correct potting soil mix and the correct size pot. While you can place the tree in a 5 gallon (19 L.) pot, bigger is better. A large container like a whiskey barrel or 20 gallon (76 L.) pot is ideal. Make sure it has drainage holes or drill some into it. The addition of some heavy-duty coaster or wheels is a good idea as well. Take 6-10 inches of softwood cuttings from the first-year branch of a healthy tree. Make sure you are not cutting a stem with fruits or flowers.
