Feed with specialist citrus feed regularly in spring and summer.

Care Information

Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-June to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
Overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so try to keep them on the dry side.
Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
