Citrus fruits can be grown at home.
In this article, we will tell you how to care for plants correctly.
How to care for citrus plants
For good growth, you need to spray the leaves of your citrus plant daily.
In addition, you can maintain high air humidity using a humidifier or installing a tray with expanded clay and water.
It is especially important to maintain air humidity levels in hot weather and during heating periods - in winter.
In addition, citrus plants are very fond of nitrogen.
Therefore, apply fertilizers in winter, especially since they begin to bloom and bear fruit in winter.
At this time, you can apply foliar liquid fertilizer.
How to water indoor citrus trees
Citrus plants like moist, but not too waterlogged soil. Therefore, water the soil when the top layer is dry.
This is approximately once a week in the summer and once every two weeks in the winter.
When and how to prune citrus fruits
In order for the crown of the tree to be symmetrical and neat, citrus fruits need to be pruned in the spring, when growth begins, or during the dormant period - usually the winter season.
Make sure that 2-3 side shoots extend from one skeletal branch, each of which will give rise to another 2-3 branches of a lower order.
