Thompson and Morgan Citrus Orange Plant Pot 9cm 3 Pack

Envision the glossy, evergreen foliage as a stunning backdrop, perfectly showcasing clusters of fragrant, waxy blossoms each spring. This orange tree is a superb addition to a conservatory or a sun-drenched windowsill, and it flourishes outdoors on a warm patio during summer. The citrus fruits, typically taking about a year to mature, reward your patience with the delightful taste of homegrown oranges, bursting with vitamin C.These oranges are incredibly versatile, ideal for creating vibrant juices, flavourful jams, and tangy chutneys, adding a zestful touch to your cooking and baking. For a unique twist, freeze the whole fruit to use as refreshing ice cubes. Beyond their culinary appeal, the attractive fruits also provide a lovely ornamental display.For planting, use a container or pot filled with a blend of ericaceous compost and a neutral, soil-based compost, such as John Innes No.3. When repotting, ensure the plant sits at its original soil level and is firmly settled in its new container. Water generously and position it in a well-lit area, shielded from cold draughts and radiators, ideally maintaining a temperature between 4-12°C. From May to October, provided the location is frost-free, the plant can reside outdoors.During the summer, water liberally and mist the leaves daily to increase humidity and deter pests. Fortify the plant with a citrus fertiliser every two weeks. Remember to bring it indoors before the onset of frost. In winter, moderate watering, ensuring the plant doesn't dry out completely, as both overwatering and underwatering can cause fruit to drop.The orange tree arrives in a 9cm nursery pot, carefully packaged and accompanied by growing instructions. Please bear in mind that the images serve as a guide, illustrating the potential of mature plants. Actual results may differ based on varying growing conditions, and seasonal changes can influence the plant's appearance. The images may not depict the exact variety.
