From flower to fruit

How to give the plant a place
Satsuma op terras: Kies een stevige pot met afvoergaten. Plant zonder de wortelhals te begraven. Laat de potbodem vrij afwateren. Geef water op basis van potvocht en groeiseizoen.
Overwinteren in lichte beschutte ruimte: Kies vóór aanschaf een lichte winterplek. Breng de pot binnen vóór schadelijke koude. Controleer vocht en blad op plaaginsecten. Laat de plant in het voorjaar geleidelijk wennen aan buitenlicht.
Care throughout the season
Laat potgrond afwateren; houd wortels en kroon in verhouding.

Turn your space into a garden for experimenting
A citrus pot brings scent, green leaves and fruit close to the terrace, but also needs a place for winter. Before buying, decide where the plant can stay in light, frost-free conditions. A heavy pot without a practical moving route can become a problem in autumn. Choose a container with drainage and do not leave the rootball in a trapped layer of water.
Observe the plant while moving and overwintering it. Water requirements change with temperature, light and growth. Check the potting compost rather than blindly continuing the summer watering routine. Feeding also belongs with active growth and the instructions for the chosen product. More fertiliser does not make a cool, dark winter position suitable.
Taste citrus in the way you intend to use it. Juice, acidity and scent matter with lemons and limes; kumquats, by contrast, are valued for their skin. A calamondin is not a small, sweet mandarin. Even ripe fruits may be distinctly acidic. Colour alone does not tell the whole story, and flowering and ripening need not fall neatly within one summer harvest period in a Dutch container.

When and how should you prune?
Laat potgrond afwateren; houd wortels en kroon in verhouding.
A young plant needs shaping; an established one needs maintenance and gradual renewal. First consider which branches you want to keep. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid unnecessary large wounds. A pruning check does not mean cutting every time.
My vegetable garden shows a suitable check for confirmed pruning periods. A variety-specific period takes precedence over the general species period. Planned and finished crops receive no pruning task; no European calendar is applied without a confirmed location.
