Instructions d'entretien

Citrus medica requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives adequate light and warmth.

Récolte

Citrus medica, commonly known as citron, should be harvested when the fruit reaches full size and the skin turns a bright yellow color, typically in late fall to early winter. To harvest, use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the tree, leaving a small portion of the stem attached to prevent damage. Handle the fruit carefully to avoid bruising, and store in a cool, dry place. Regular monitoring of the fruit's ripeness is essential to ensure optimal flavor and quality.

Sol

Citrus medica prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so a potting mix designed for citrus or a general-purpose mix with added perlite or sand is ideal.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-2-6 is recommended for Citrus medica. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production. Reduce feeding during the dormant period.

Rempotage

Repot Citrus medica every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Citrus medica can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or grafting. The best time to propagate is during the spring or early summer. For cuttings, take a healthy stem, dip it in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Taille

Prune Citrus medica to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches, and trim back any overly long or leggy growth.

Toxicité

Citrus medica is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the plant's thorns can cause physical injury, so handle with care. The fruit is edible and used in various culinary applications.

Supplémentaire

Citrus medica is known for its aromatic flowers and fruits, which can add a pleasant fragrance to your garden or home. Regularly check for pests such as aphids, scale, and spider mites, and treat them promptly to prevent infestations.
