Orange Tree love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Orange Tree
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Orange Tree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

So I planted 6 stems with hormone from my neighbor's orange tree. I followed the steps to a T and nothing. Yesterday, I showed my Godson all the plants since I'm using his room and hell have to help soon, lol. Yesterday a big Kaboob and/or Snow in 9b/9. No hormone just soaked and I'm really proud of my little growth. Phil is in Dax's new pot as I was going to try grafting im

Orange Tree Welp I’m doing it! I bought an orange tree yesterday. Just repotted it. The new pot is a lot wider but only a tad taller, but it is what I had on hand at the moment. I can’t wait to start seeing flowers!! I was told it may be a couple years so I got a more mature one. More $$ but I should see fruit this summer!!!! Does anyone else have an orange tree? We need to be buds! Ha get it 🤣🤦♀️ This is a big leap for me and I’m crazy excited about this fruit tree journey 💚🧡 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OrangeTree #FruitTrees #GregGang Oh and look at those amazing roots! #RootPorn

Help me save my calamondin tree! 😞 This baby has been so happy in the sunniest spot of my house, produced a whole new branch that was growing so fast, until I noticed that while the young branch looked healthy the rest of the tree started looking a little sunken and sad. Shortly after — these light spots on the leaves of the young branch. The top of the tree is just sad looking, I’m not sure what’s going on… anybody has any insight on this? I love my tree! I wanna save it! #HappyPlants #help #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #calamondin #orangetree #NewPlantMom #PestControl
