The fragrant white blossoms and glossy leaves make it an attractive plant for warm-climate gardens, terraces, balconies and large containers. The limes are a kitchen favourite for drinks, dressings, marinades, chutneys and pickles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e citrus trees grown from seed are a long-term project and usually take around 3–5 years to start fruiting.

Sow about ¼ inch deep in small pots of moist, well-drained seed mix and keep them warm, ideally 75–85°F (24–29°C), in a bright spot. Keep the mix consistently moist but not wet; seedlings usually appear in 2–4 weeks. A single citrus seed can produce more than one seedling. Move seedlings into larger pots as they grow, and plant out once they are strong and nights are warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in sandy or loamy, well-drained soil or a citrus potting mix. Water moderately, letting the top inch of soil dry between waterings, and avoid waterlogging. Feed with a citrus fertiliser during active growth. Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove crossing branches, wearing gloves because of the thorns. Shelter plants from frost and strong winds, and in colder climates grow them in containers that can be moved indoors for winter. Check regularly for pests such as aphids, scale and leaf miners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565244604599,"sku":"RA_DEC_25_423","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__a-real-pomelo-branch-with-several-small-green-pome__63281.png?v=1769489386","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/kagzi-lime-seeds-citrus-aurantiifolia-indian-key-lime-tree-for-planting","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
