Technical Specs for Your Tree:
Grown from Rhizome
Height: 8-inches tall or greater (not including root system)
Pot size: Pot size: 3-inch citri-pot
Start of rhizome production: There are current rhizomes and if transplanted they will be maximally reproduced and enlarged after 9 months being planted.
Container: Re-potting can be done at any time, we suggest 5-gallon size with drainage holes or into a raised bed.
Watering: A newly transplanted tree needs its soil drenched daily for 1 week, otherwise keep soil moist.
Indoor growing: watering needs to be adjusted, more info in our care guide.
Climate Control: Needs to be protected from strong winds or temperatures under 40 degrees F.
Light: We recommend the tree be kept outdoors for full sunlight. If is kept indoors, we recommend a full-spectrum grow light, window light will not suffice as this is a tropical tree. If the tree is kept indoors without a full spectrum grow light, we cannot say with confidence that the tree will survive or thrive.
Nutrition: To thrive, your tree needs proper fertilizer three times yearly.
Your tree can spend its life in a pot. If planted in the ground, the plant will die in cold weather, then regrow from the buried rhizome.
