- Buy a large pot with good drainage.
- Get soil specially formulated for citrus.
- Place your tree in a south-facing window. It will need eight to 12 hours of light a day.
- Be sure to water regularly and use a water meter to make sure the soil is moist enough, but not too damp.
- Run a humidifier near your trees to keep the air moist.
- Plant in a well-drained pot with potting soil for African violets in a window that gets a lot of sunlight.
- Let the plant’s soil dry out (the top inch of soil) before watering. Be careful not to over-water. Mist in the winter to keep the plant moist.
- Fertilize every two to three weeks from spring to fall, but not in the winter.
- You’ll need a huge pot, two to three times the size of the root ball.
- Make sure the soil can drain well, and water ever three to four days.
- Mulch to keep the roots warm.
- Feed with water-soluble fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, potassium, and photsphate. Careful not to over-fertilize.
- Martha Stewart recommends pruning back the large stems. More from The Stir: Plant an Indoor Vegetable Garden: Eat Healthy Year-Round
