It is now possible to grow small citrus fruits in our homes. This small tree grows very well in a pot. Under optimal growing conditions, it can even produce several fruits for you. Tangerine trees, close relatives of mandarins, produce sweet and fragrant fruits. If you grow your tangerine tree indoors, in the spring, when it begins to flower, you will need to manually pollinate the flowers to promote fruit formation. To do this, you can use a soft brush and transfer pollen from one flower to another. Harvesting generally takes place from autumn to winter. It is highly recommended to give it a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight per day and to fertilize it regularly.
Caution! Risk of toxicity for animals. Only the fruits are not toxic.
