I was looking for some advice on growing citrus trees in door's any advice
on lighting and feeding would greatly be appreciated. All so can you grow
them hydroponically.


they need lots of light, reasonable humidity (i spray my key lime tree
almost daily with water), and you should feed them a citrus specific food.
when you get blooms, you'll need to pollinate by hand (or by q-tip), unless
you have a lot of bees inside your house. :-)

my lime tree blooms often, and i get tens of tiny limes that fall off within
a week or so. i currently have my first full sized lime (i've had the tree
for about 9 months), and i'm just waiting for it to ripen. i intend to
celebrate by sacrificing it to the Tequila gods.

i love having the lime tree indoors, it smells heavenly, especially when
it's in bloom. feeding every three months is recommended to increase the
blooms.
