Oranges & Lemons

Growing citrus in the home is easy providing you follow three golden rules..

  1. Don’t overwater, just keep humidity around the plant high
  2. Remember to feed your plant regularly
  3. Keep your plant in a sunny position, away from drafts.

We currently have lemons, kumquat and calamondin available in our houseplant department.

The Kumquat is a small citrus fruit that is quite tangy and distinctively citrus to taste.

The Calamondin is a mix between mandarin, tangerine and a kumquat! It’s fruits are subsequently larger than the kumquat and more orangey to taste. The Calamondin was bred to cope better with colder temperatures.
