Indoor Fruit Tree Care …
With standard citrus trees grown outdoors, sunshine is the most important ingredient to their long term health and success. The same is true with indoor fruit trees, they need a sunny window or bright room with ample sun exposure. The more the better in fact six to eight hours a day is usually sufficient. Don’t worry if your climate tends to be on the cloudy and rainy side though outdoor citrus trees endure cloudy and rainy spells just fine.
Generally, it’s safe to assume the more exposure to sunlight for an indoor fruit tree, the better. They also crave humidity, which you can create by misting the tree with lukewarm water every other day or so.
You should only have to water your tree once a week or so, just enough so the soil is on the dry side of moist. These indoor trees don’t like to sit in a puddle of water! Of course, indoor environments differ, as some are drier than others but in general, watering once a week is plenty.
