Instructions d'entretien

Finger limes thrive in bright, direct sunlight and prefer moderate temperatures. They require consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. Maintaining a humid environment will help the plant flourish. Regular pruning is necessary to shape the plant and encourage healthy growth.

Récolte

Citrus australasica, commonly known as finger lime, is typically harvested when the fruit is fully mature, which is usually around late summer to early autumn. The fruit should be firm and have a consistent color. To harvest, gently twist or cut the fruit from the branch, being careful not to damage the plant. It is important to handle the fruit delicately to avoid bruising. The plant prefers a subtropical climate and should be grown in well-drained soil with adequate sunlight. Regular watering and fertilization will help ensure a healthy harvest.

Sol

Finger limes prefer well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of loam and organic matter works well. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for optimal growth.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-2-6. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth and fruit production.

Rempotage

Repot finger limes every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring.

Propagation

Finger limes can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Use rooting hormone and plant the cuttings in a well-draining soil mix.

Taille

Prune finger limes to maintain their shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Pruning should be done after the fruiting season, typically in late winter or early spring. Regular pruning encourages healthy growth and fruit production.

Toxicité

Finger limes are not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the plant, including the fruit, are safe for consumption.

Supplémentaire

Finger limes are relatively hardy and can tolerate short periods of drought once established. However, they perform best with consistent care and attention. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
