GENERAL CARE TIPS

Calamondin thrive with direct sunlight for at least several hours daily. Move the plants outdoors for a few hours daily in the spring, increasing the time outdoors until the tree can stay outdoors for the summer. Bring the tree indoors in the fall, before the first cold snap. Decrease the time outdoors slowly until the tree is acclimated to staying indoors. Keep the soil consistently moist.

Blooming in the spring months, the fruit of calamondin citrus trees persist through winter and can be used in drinks just as lemons or limes are used and also make wonderful marmalade.
