Container-grown Clementine Mandarin Trees need more water than those planted outside. In the spring, water two to three times a week. In the summer, as temperatures rise, your citrus tree may need to be watered daily. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. A good indication of when you should water is to check the top 2 to 3 inches of soil. If it is dry to the touch, your citrus tree needs watering. Houses generally don't have the humidity citrus trees need to grow. Mist or spray your Clementine Mandarin Trees several times a week.

Regularly pruning Clementine Mandarin Orange Trees and shrubs is necessary to encourage outward growth for better fruit production. Disinfect your pruning tools with a solution of 10-percent bleach, which contains one part bleach and nine parts water. Bypass pruners work well for clipping small branches less than 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut diseased, broken and dead branches off the tree as they develop throughout the year. Eliminate any rubbing or crossing branches to encourage an outward growing habit with an open center, so sunlight reaches all the branches.

We recommend feeding your Clementine Mandarin Orange Trees with Espoma Citrus~tone. It is best to feed your plants by sprinkling one teaspoon of fertilizer on the soil surface per every 4″ of pot diameter. Apply double for pots over 12″. Be sure to mix the fertilizer into the top layer of soil by using a fork to gently stir the fertilizer into the top 2" of soil evenly. With frequent watering of potted plants, nutrients may be lost and more frequent application may be required. Feed every 60 days in late winter to fall.
