Best near a south- or west-facing window
Can be moved outdoors during warm months for extra light
Insufficient light may reduce flowering and fruit production

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry
Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy
Ensure the pot drains freely—citrus roots are prone to rot
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows

Thrives in 65–90°F
Prefers moderate humidity levels
Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F
