Exposure
The citrus tree appreciates strong light and loves direct sunlight, place it in a very bright place with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you have a garden or a balcony, don't hesitate to take your plant out on sunny days, but don't forget to shelter it in winter (out of the frost!).
Watering
Its important to use acidic water pH 5 for all citrus (do not use city water with pH 7). Tip to get acidic water, squeeze half lemon fruit in your watering can. In summer/spring, we recommend frequent watering of 2 to 3 watering per week. In winter/autumn, water every 10 to 15 days. It is important to keep the soil slightly moist, BUT important note, all citrus tree hates having its roots in standing water!

During the SUMMER SOLSTICE period (April to September) - Add 1 table spoon (15ml) of 21-0-0 (ammonia sulfate) + 12-6-6+OLIGO one time/per month & (optional) Add alga liquid fertilizer (5ml concentrate in 1L of water) every 2 weeks .
During the WINTER SOLSTICE period (October to March) - No fertilizing required.
