Hydroponic Finger Lime
« on: April 30, 2019, 02:28:34 PM »
About a year ago, I had a small finger lime that had some shock, and I decided to try it in a Deep Water Culture bucket Hydroponic system. I've been using them for peppers/greens/herbs in the winter. and peppers and tomatoes in the summer.
I thought why not, so I tried to find info on growing citrus in hydro. A few people doing it, but not much info. It flowered a little last fall, produced a few fruit, but it was a chilly winter, and it's in my greenhouse. It never got below freezing, but most winter night's in the greenhouse were in the mid 30's.
I've been feeding it with general use hydro feed and a little citrus feed, but pretty much ignored it all winter. I just moved it today and changed the water. You can see it's blooming, and it's three times the size from a year ago.

Looks successful.  Petty soon you will have to move the tree into a larger container.  Thanks for the pictures and the information on growing citrus by hydro culturally.
