Here are some tips for caring for this plant:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e: Calamondins need plenty of light to thrive. Place your plant in a very bright location where it receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. A south-facing window is usually ideal for this. If such light is not available, artificial lighting with grow lights can be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Calamondins prefer warm temperatures. Keep your plant in a location where the temperature is consistently above 10°C (50°F). They do not tolerate cold temperatures well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water your Calamondin regularly, ensuring the soil remains slightly moist.
