How to care for your Fruit Tree
Use these instructions to care for a Fruit Tree. This guide will tell you how to water a Fruit Tree; its light, temperature, humidity preferences and any additional care it might need to help it grow.
Avocado Tree
Your avocado tree will do best in bright light. It needs 6+ hours of direct sunlight a day to thrive indoors. A south or west window will be best, but try using a grow-light if you do not think you have enough sunlight in your home.
Water when the soil is 50% dry. In the winter, it’s best to allow the soil to dry out more since the tree is not actively growing. Always test the soil before watering and water evenly until water runs through the drainage hole. Drain the excess water.
Your avocado will thrive in a humid environment. Try misting it often!
Your avocado tree will do best in warmer temperatures between 65–85°F.
For best results, use a liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength once a month during the spring and summer. Never apply fertilizer to dry soil; always make sure the soil is damp before feeding your plant.
Your avocado plant is toxic and not pet-friendly to many animals.
Trim your avocado tree back as it grows, as this will help encourage bushier growth and a stronger stem! Snip back the stems just above a leaf to remove length.
Lemon Tree
Your lemon tree prefers bright light. It will thrive receiving 12 hours of direct light a day but can do well with as little as 8 hours a day. The more light it receives, the higher chance it will produce fruit. If you are keeping your tree indoors, ensure that it gets enough exposure to light, or be sure to use a grow light.
Your lemon tree prefers to be watered when 50% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
Your tree prefers a humid environment. Make use of a humidifier or pebble tray to increase the ambient humidity. Misting is not recommended since it can cause fungal issues in indoor environments that have reduced airflow.
Your tree will do best in warmer temperatures between 65–80°F.
During the growing season starting early spring and into summer, fertilize your tree once a month. A high potassium fertilizer will help your tree grow its fruit.
The fruit and leaves of these trees are toxic to cats and dogs.
Keeping your tree properly pruned helps them grow out beautifully, prevent diseases and damage to branches, improve air circulation, and produce solid fruit. In February or March, prune back your tree’s overcrowded branches for a strong growing season.
Orange Tree
Your orange tree prefers bright light. It will thrive receiving 12 hours of direct light a day but can do well with as little as 8 hours a day. The more light it receives, the higher chance it will produce fruit. If you are keeping your tree indoors, ensure that it gets enough exposure to light, or be sure to use a grow light.
