CALAMONDIN TREE CARE

LIGHT

Direct sunlight will be too harsh for Calamondins, so place the plant near a window with either morning or evening sun to ensure lots of bright, indirect light. To prevent fruits that grow in the winter from dropping, a grow light will prove helpful.

WATER

The Calamondins prefer a consistently moist – not wet – soil, so water thoroughly when the first 1-2" of soil is dry. Make sure your Calamondin is in a well-draining soil and in a pot with drainage holes. If your pot has a saucer beneath it, be sure to dry any water that has collected to prevent root rot.

GROWTH HABITS

Unlike most fruiting plants, the Calamondins are hardy and can survive in temperatures as low as 20 degrees. With bright light and a regular watering schedule, these self-pollinators can bear fruit year-round.

If the fruits are too sour to munch on alone, try our Calamondin cocktail; a little tequila goes a long way!
