Description
Citrus calamondin is a charming and versatile citrus plant, perfect for adding both ornamental beauty and edible fruits to your garden or indoor space. This Citrus will be delivered in a convenient 22 cm pot, making it easy to handle and plant, and with a current height of approximately 80 cm, it is already well-established and ready to grow.
Citrus calamondin features glossy, dark green leaves that create a lush and attractive foliage display. The plant produces small, fragrant white flowers that give way to bright orange, tangerine-like fruits, which are both visually striking and aromatic. These fruits can be used in cooking, beverages, or simply admired for their beauty and scent.
To thrive, this Citrus loves a sunny spot where it can bask in warmth, which encourages healthy growth, abundant flowers, and plentiful fruiting. Caring for this plant is straightforward: it prefers well-draining soil and regular watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. While it is hardy indoors, occasional fertilization during the growing season will keep it vibrant and productive.
The plant is thornless, easy to maintain, and evergreen, keeping its glossy leaves year-round. It is not strongly scented overall, except for the delicate fragrance of its flowers and the zest of its fruits.
Note: Citrus calamondin is non-toxic to humans but may cause mild irritation if ingested by pets, so it is best to keep an eye on curious animals.
With its lush foliage, fragrant blossoms, and vibrant fruits, Citrus calamondin makes an excellent addition to any balcony, or garden, combining beauty, fragrance, and a touch of the Mediterranean.
