Citrus fruits in horticulture

Citrus fruits, in addition to being grown in the field for the purpose of exploiting their fruits, can also be used in gardening.

Individually in spaces, in the center of compositions and even in pots, their dwarf forms.

One of our suggestions for citrus fruits in pots and directly in the soil is the kumquat. A tree with small orange fruits (like small oranges, edible). The tree has relatively slow growth and its flowering occurs in the summer. The kumquat does not like extreme temperatures, while its planting location should be sunny and the soil well-drained. If planted in a pot, it would be good to have a relatively large pot with a diameter of over 50cm, at the bottom of which before planting it would be good to place gravel that will help with good drainage of the watering, while the soil that will be chosen should be a general-purpose potting soil.

The kumquat has some fertilization needs. You can use either organic or common basic fertilization fertilizers plus trace elements in the fall and spring.

Regarding watering, it would be good to have its soil sufficiently watered with water needs being different depending on the season. In the summer, the need for water is clearly increased, so 2 to 3 times a week is a very good frequency.
