It is now possible to grow small citrus fruits in our homes. This small tree grows very well in pots. In optimal growing conditions, it can even produce several fruits. If you grow your lime tree indoors, in the spring, when it begins to bloom, you will need to manually pollinate the flowers to encourage fruit formation. To do this, you can use a soft paintbrush and transfer the pollen from one flower to another. It is strongly recommended to provide it with a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight per day and to fertilize it regularly.
