the summer and brought indoors in a sunny location
in the winter.
Plant may be grown outdoors as long as it is
protected from freezing temperatures in the winter.
Water when upper 1/3 of soil is dry to touch. Water

saturated.
Fertilize with citrus grow fertilizer using one
tablespoon of fertilizer per 1 gallon pot.
If pests are seen on plant, consult local garden
specialist.
