Citrus

 

Meyer
Lemon

lemon and mandarin orange

·      Bear multiple crops per season

·      Prune anytime to maintain size and shape

·      They prefer a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5 and
thrive in a loamy or sandy mixture

 Watering is one of the keys to growing any citrus plant, particularly those grown in pots. The tree should be moist, not soggy. Put your finger into the soil at about 2 inches. If you feel dampness with your fingertip, wait to water. If it feels dry, water until you see water run out the bottom of the pot. Keep your tree healthy by misting the leaves with water daily when you are running your

heat during cold months.

 

 Artic

Mandarins require full sun to be their most productive. Eight to 10 hours of daily sunlight during the growing season. Trees that are in partial shade during the day will survive but at the expense of productivity.
