The key lime tree loves to be pampered. That means humidity, moisture, nutrient-rich well-draining soil, warmth, and sun. However, once established, the key lime is considered cleansing, either in the context of its health benefits (with its fill of antioxidants and illness-combative vitamins) or in the context of negative spirits (as with old Filipino or Malaysian traditions). The thornless mutation of this plant is more compact, and follows the impression of an innocent, wholesome friend.

Care Guide

How to Care for Thornless Key lime, Citrus Aurantifolia?

The thornless variety of key lime tends to be friendlier for indoor planters because of its compact shape and evergreen growth. That being said, it’s important to keep in mind that citrus trees can be heavier feeders and are particular about a constant watering schedule. It’s recommended to keep the tree in loamy (nutrient-rich) soil and water thoroughly weekly, or when the soil starts to dry out, to support its luxurious flowers and fruit.
