Growing Dwarf Citrus as Indoor/Outdoor Plants
Container-grown citrus trees can be kept on patios and decks in warm weather, then moved inside for winter to avoid freezing. Just be sure not to shock your tree with a sudden change of environment. Simply place the tree in partial shade for a couple of weeks to transition from full sun to indoors. Later you can reverse this process after any danger of frost has safely passed. You will find that you need to water less indoors. Follow our usual recommendations.
Citrus grown indoors benefit greatly from the use of a grow light. We recommend turning your light on at sunrise and off at sunset. If the tree is not averaging at least 6 hours of bright sunlight a day, a grow light becomes a necessity for fruit production.
To learn more, see our Citrus Variety Information Chart for specific cold hardiness information by variety.
