In order for the orange tree to bear fruit at home, you need to use the seeds of the plant from the indoor variety when planting. If you plant seeds from store-bought oranges, they will not bear fruit until you are grafted.

How to grow an orange at home from a seed: soil selection
All oranges grow slowly at home. Until the plant has developed its root system over the entire pot, the growth of the plant will be almost invisible. Therefore, for small seedlings that have been grown from a stone, take small pots. For the first primer, a universal flower substrate is suitable. Until a young orange tree grows up, it is transplanted 2 times a year, each transplant will need to increase the size of the pot. A mature orange tree will require heavy soil and fertilizer. To plant an adult shrub, mix one part of garden soil, one part of humus, phosphorus fertilizer and add a small amount of sand.

An orange tree needs sunlight
As everyone knows, oranges grow in nature in the sun. This means that at home, he needs to take the brightest place. The best place would be a windowsill on the south side. Here your plant will feel very good, the only exception can be the summer period. If on the south side your window is not darkened by anything, then it is better to put the plant anywhere on the street. Where direct sunlight will not fall on it. Because the sun through the window can be very harmful to the leaves of the tree.

How to water an orange at home?
In hot weather, the orange tree at home needs to be watered abundantly, it loves moisture very much and will take all the water you give. Do not water citrus plants with hard water. As soon as autumn comes, we begin to change the irrigation regime. When the temperature drops, the plant will react to overflow and dry out of the earth. Here it will be necessary to wait for the top layer of the earth to dry out enough.But not completely, and then completely water the plant.
