What are some ways I can care for my citrus house plants during the winter?

Answer

Caring for a citrus plant indoors can be challenging because these plants need both strong sun and humidity to stay healthy.Those elements become even more difficult to provide in the winter. Lemon, lime, orange, citron and kumquat plants are all prone to leaf drop, bud drop and insects without the right care.

We have written a guide to essential care for citrus houseplants: Citrus Houseplants.
