I'm growing key limes too. Mine are all under 6" tall. How big did
your tree get when it started blooming? What brand of plant food are
you using? Thank you in advance for the answers.

my tree is only about 5" tall, and it's been blooming since i bought it. i
use Whitney Farms "Citrus, Avocado and Vine Food", about every three months.
the box says to fertilize twice a year, but i think that's specific to
outdoor plants. i just sprinkle the food on the surface of the soil, then
mix it in with water using my hands.

good luck with your lime tree!
