limetta · Citrus limetta
Also known as: Mediterranean sweet lime; Mediterranean sweet limetta; sweet lemon; sweetie; Tunisian sweet limetta; sweet lime
Under glass, grow in loam-based potting compost in full light, with shade from hot sun. In growth, water freely and apply a balanced liquid every 2-3 weeks; water sparingly in winter. May be moved outside in warmer weather in full sun. See citrus cultivation for further information
Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.
