How to Grow Lime Trees at Home

Zesty and deliciously tangy, Lime Trees are one of the most popular options for home growers. And the best part? It couldn't be easier to have your own!

Remember that planting directions will depend on the variety you choose, but all Lime Trees must be grown in the proper growing zones to start (or grown indoors, if you live in a cooler area).

To plant your Lime Tree, select an area with well-drained soil or choose a container large enough to accommodate the tree’s root ball, place your tree, and backfill the soil. Finally, water the surrounding soil to settle your tree’s roots and mulch to conserve moisture if it's growing outside.

How to Plant Lime Trees

First, plant your Lime Trees in early spring if it's staying outside. But you can plant your Lime Trees in pots to stay on the porch or move indoors nearly any time of year. Additionally, we do recommend container growing unless you live in a warm, humid area with steady temperatures year-round.
