Also known as the Tahiti lime tree, this tree produces the limes that are most commonly found in grocery stores. The thick-skinned fruit is the about size of a lemon and has a tart flavor that goes great in food and drinks. Unlike lemons, this citrus tree does not have large thorns on its stems, making it more pet friendly as a houseplant.
Although this tree is more cold-hardy than other citrus trees, it thrives in warm temperatures and is heat tolerant, but can be grown indoors near a sunny window in cooler climates. Be sure to provide your Persian Lime Tree with sufficient water, as this tree’s moisture content is extremely high for fruit production. We recommend thoroughly watering this tree at least once a week, and allowing it to fully drain.
