In small spaces, such as courtyards, where natural soil is not available, plants in pots can provide dramatic effect. Citrus plants grow particularly well in large pots, and with adequate water, food and pruning, will display dense, dark green foliage and provide beautiful (and useful) fruit in the winter months. Be sure to keep up the water to your potted citrus plants, at least once a week in the warmer months. Citrus require regular feeding, ideally well-rotted manures or a citrus fertiliser. It’s important to tip prune citrus plants regularly to promote fruiting and to help prevent them becoming woody. Ideally, citrus plants should be re-potted every five years.
