Growing citrus in pots

摘要

Gardeners have been growing citrus in containers for thousands of years. Many of the first glasshouses, or orangeries, were constructed to grow oranges, lemons, and limes. But you don't need a glasshouse or greenhouse—or to live in a tropical climate—to grow oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, or kumquats. The attractive and edible fruit combined with intensely sweet flowers make citrus a prized potted plant for any home. With a sunny window, proper container, good soilless potting mix, a bit of fertilizer, and a light hand at watering, you, too, can harvest these juicy treats.
