🌞 Light
Full sun is essential — 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Indoors, place it near a south-facing window or supplement with grow lights if needed.
💧 Water
Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
In winter, reduce watering frequency — but don’t let it dry out completely.
🌱 Soil
Use well-draining soil; a mix formulated for citrus or cactus works well.
If potted, ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Prefers 60–85°F (16–29°C).
Protect from frost — move potted plants indoors during cold seasons.
Likes moderate humidity. If indoors, use a humidifier or pebble tray if air is dry.
🍊 Feeding
Feed with a balanced citrus fertilizer (high in nitrogen) during the growing season (spring through early fall).
Follow label instructions — usually every 4–6 weeks.
✂️ Pruning
Prune in early spring to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches.
Remove suckers (shoots from the base) to direct energy into fruiting branch
