Finally seeing new growth on our baby lime tree!! This little guy wasn’t doing too hot since we got him in February (he was overwatered at the nursery with lots of yellow leaves). We added some citrus fertilizer to the top couple inches of soil (avoiding the trunk of the tree) and have been letting the soil go BONE DRY in between waterings, and he’s perked right up!!

We won’t get any fruit until next year at least, so priority A for right now is supporting growth! 🍋‍🟩🌱

What tips do you have for growing limes in a container?

UNCOVER your plants while temperatures are above freezing to allow your plants to absorb that sunshine!
✅ Prevents overheating: Covers can trap heat and humidity, which might stress your plants as temps climb.
✅ Promotes air circulation: Keeping plants covered too long can encourage mold or mildew.
✅ Sunlight access for photosynthesis: Uncovering lets your plants soak up that much-needed sunlight to keep growing strong!
❄️ EXCEPTIONS: Some plants thrive with continued protection, including:
- Citrus trees 🍊
- Tropical plants like banana trees 🌴
- Seedlings or newly planted veggies 🥬 (though I uncovered mine!)
