If growing it in a pot, place the plant in a well-lit room during the winter. The potting soil should be coarse, acidic, and well-drained. Choose a spot that gets at least 8 hours of sunlight per day. In containers, use a starter pot that is 10-14 inches or 3-5 gallons in size, with excellent drainage. If planting in the ground, choose a spot with adequate drainage and prepare the area with looser soil. When planting, ensure the tree stays straight and secure in the ground, then water deeply and thoroughly. Citrus trees can be grown closer together for a citrus hedge or a multi-variety bush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.
