How to care for it

Citrus plants need direct light for many hours a day: the best spot is a south-facing balcony or terrace from April to October. Water when the surface of the substrate dries out, avoiding standing water in the drip tray, watering more often during the hot months and far less in winter, when the plant should be moved to a cold greenhouse or a bright, cool room.

To learn more about caring for this species, see the complete botanical care sheet.

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive exactly the plant in the photograph?

No. As this is a wedding favour produced in series, the photo is indicative and shows a typical specimen. The plant sent belongs to the same species, has the same style, the same white 14 x 14 cm square pot and the same dimensions, 25-30 cm in height.

Is the plant always in flower on delivery?

It depends on the season. Sweet lime flowers mainly in spring and may bloom again in summer, so during the cold months the plant arrives in leaf but without buds. The pot and canopy dimensions remain the same all year round.

Can it be kept indoors after the ceremony?

Only for short periods and near a very bright window. It is an outdoor species: indoors it suffers from the dry air of radiators. From spring to autumn keep it outdoors in full sun, then shelter it during the winter months.
