Instructions d'entretien

Citrus hystrix requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives adequate light and humidity.

Récolte

Citrus hystrix, commonly known as Kaffir lime, is typically harvested when the fruits are fully mature, which is usually around 6 to 9 months after flowering. The fruits should be firm and have a deep green color. Harvesting is done by hand, using pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree, ensuring not to damage the branches. The leaves, which are also used in cooking, can be harvested year-round. It is important to handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging the delicate branches and to ensure the continuous production of fruits and leaves.

Sol

The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of loam with some organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for best results.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 3-1-2. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.

Rempotage

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

Propagation

Citrus hystrix can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or air layering. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. For cuttings, use semi-hardwood cuttings and root them in a well-draining soil mix.

Taille

Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and size of the plant. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or diseased branches and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation.

Toxicité

Citrus hystrix is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the fruit's rind and leaves contain essential oils that can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.

Supplémentaire

Regularly check for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. Use appropriate pest control methods if necessary. Ensure the plant has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
