It is now possible to grow small citrus trees indoors. This small tree grows very well in pots. Under optimal growing conditions, it can even produce several fruits for you. Beautiful, very fragrant white flowers with a golden heart appear in spring or sometimes at other times of the year under good conditions. If you grow your grapefruit tree indoors, when it starts to flower, you will need to manually pollinate the flowers to encourage fruit formation. To do this, you can use a soft brush and transfer pollen from one flower to another. It is strongly recommended to give it a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight per day and to fertilize it regularly.
Warning! Risk of toxicity for animals. Only the fruits are not toxic.
