I love them since they're sweeter than oranges, so i decided to grow some. Not really fond of planting but i really enjoyed planting this one. So far so good, it's only been about 2 months and I read that citrus fruits are slow growers.

I hope they bear fruits~

Wow they are my favorite too. But I do not know if you can grow them in tropical place like ours. But I see some are being sold with the fruit but after that they die down for unknown reason. But tell us if you have successfully grown and have bear its fruits.

@lady1993 I know they grow better in colder climates. But l guess if you give them the right light water and maybe fertilizer they can adjust to our climate. They might just not bear fruits as sweet as the ones that came from China. So I wish that you can give them a chance and bear fruit.

Oh no, I hope they do not die. i better keep them in the house more often.

it's going to take about 5 years for them to bear fruit (fingers crossed)

Do you use the seeds from the fruit itself?

@lady1993 that's amazing. So how did you do it? You dry the seeds first?

@prinzcy Yep, wash the seeds. Peel them a bit so they germinate faster. Put them in a paper towel and wet them. Put in a sealed container for 3 weeks~ and that's it~
