Owners are often unaware of just how hot their greenhouse can become on sunny days and of the stress it can cause. It’s so wonderful to be able to step out into your backyard or courtyard and pick your very own fresh and delicious Mandarins, Oranges, Lemons and Limes. Heat: Citrus trees can tolerate temperatures down to 4°C (even 2°C for short periods) but they must not be frosted.

If, however, there is a lot of leaf drop, then the first thing to look at is whether the plant is too dry. Be especially watchful for any shoots sprouting from below the graft point on the main stem, and remove them immediately. Try placing your plant on a south-facing window sill as this seems to provide the right amount of light.
