- Planting:
- Select a sunny location with well-draining soil or a large container with drainage holes.
- Plant the tree in a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth, or in a container with rich, well-draining potting mix.
- Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature if planting in the ground.
- Watering:
- Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Deep watering is recommended to encourage a strong root system.
- For container plants, check the soil moisture frequently, as they may dry out more quickly than ground-planted trees.
- Pruning:
- Prune to maintain a desired shape, remove dead or diseased wood, and improve air circulation.
- Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
- Thin out crowded branches to allow sunlight to reach the interior of the tree, promoting better fruit production.
- Fertilizing:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for citrus trees in early spring.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.
- Additional feeding may be required during the growing season, particularly if the tree is in a container.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Monitor for common citrus pests such as aphids, scale insects, and citrus leaf miners.
- Treat infestations with appropriate insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils.
- Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
