How to take care of Citrus Key Lime

Sun: Direct

This plant prefers bright, direct light but can tolerate some filtered light. If grown indoors, ensure it gets enough exposure to sunlight to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.

Light: Bright Direct

Citrus Key Lime thrives in direct sun and enjoys at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If growing indoors, place it near a bright south-facing window or supplement with grow lights.

Water: When Mostly Dry

Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's best to use well-draining soil and water thoroughly when needed

Humidity: Medium

Citrus Key Lime can adapt to various humidity levels but prefers moderate humidity. If grown indoors in dry conditions, occasional misting or a pebble tray can help maintain ideal moisture.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Citrus plants contain compounds that can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
