Calamundin is the same as Kalamansi (Filipino) name. It will not survive where you live outdoor. You need to direct sun all day but can tolerate a some sunshine. You are so right. They are better than lime or lemon. The best citrus juice than lemonade and orange juice. I have 3 kalamansi in Arizona about 10 ft tall. They produce fruit 3 times a year. You should pick those kalamansi fruit while they are green, do not wait until they become yellowish. It will dried up inside the fruit and you will get less juice from it. Good job!!!! You need to prune your kalamansi tree to make it greenier leaves and it will give you more fruits. Try it! Prune the from the top to make the height even and check the branches you think are not flowering. Don't give up. If you understand Tagalog, go on youtube and watch the kalamansi growers in the Philippines how to maintain the trees. Watch "Agri Juan". He's has hectares of kalamansi trees and he will suggest ways you will be surprise. I have learned a lot from him.
I have several kalamansi in containers. I do minimal and basic care so they survive being indoor throughout winter months. I can't wait for them to be outside soon. Salamat po sa suggestions. Mabuhay!
Wow ..lemonsito.,calamansi or calamondin..ah basta damo na og benefits sa atoa lawas .. Lemonade juice gyud ba the best. Sana all naay tanom nga kalamansi heheh
Thank you for sharing- reassures me that my container bound Kalamansi will be okay for years to come. I have mine for more than two years now and only this year that it is bearing fruits.
I love your video. Unsa man fertilizer imong gigamit? I started lemoncito from seeds too. Naay tunok. Live in Washington so tugnaw diri. I have three in the making.
Hi Marie! I just found your channel while researching about Calamondin! I just purchased one at Lowes today. What kind of Citrus Fertilizer do you use? When is the best time to fertilize and when to not fertilize? During the winter time, I have to put these inside the house. Is it okay to use Grow lights on them, since I do not have any sunny spot inside the house.....Thanks a lot!
Hi, what zone are you? I live in zone 7. I take my calamondin plants inside during winter.. i sometimes forget to fertilize LOL. But at least fertilize once or twice a year. One in spring and one in Fall before cold season. You can buy cittus fertilizer, or if not available just a regular fruit tree fertilizer
@@jazzcanada2001 in winter, yes I put near the window to get some sunlight. A grow light should help if you don't have a window. Zone 8 is warm, you can try planting.it outside..if you have extra.calamondin plant. Don't risk your only plant, though 😀
What soil mixture do you use? That plant on the artificial clay pot looks huge. Stems look huge how old is it? I'm surprised it can get that huge in such a small pot (10 gal?)
It's my oldest calamondin tree, 15 years old planted from a seed. I prune it every year to control the size. I also fertilize at leasr once a year. Regular fertilizer or citrus fertilizer would work. I used just regular potting soil. You can buy citrus potting soil also
I have a problem. I planted the calamansi seeds last year into pots. 9b zone in Florida. They have grown so tall with thorns. Should I cut down the branches with thorns?
I just bought mine. And just wanted to ask when should i fertilize it? May bunga na siya, and some of it iharvest ko na. Pero may mga ilang flowers pa po. Is it okay to feed them fertiliser na?
Marie, have you repotted any of your kalamansi while flowering? I've been thinking of transferring mine to a bigger pot. I am afraid I will kill it if I do so.
Yes I have done that many times. I suggest you don't water a day before your repot so the soil is not soft and doesn't fall apart. Calamondin is easy to transplant. Fertilize and water right after you repot
My wife and mother in law are from the Phillipines were in east TN and we have one of these trees for years and it's never produced fruit we bring it every winter put it in basement under florescent light but this year I think my Mother in law has given up on the tree and has left it outside so it has gotten below freezing but it's still alive I think it's from seed it looks like a tree about 5.5 ft tall I will bring it in and give it one more chance to produce fruit before it becomes firewood
I heard those are really cold tolerant specially when they’re bigger, you might want to try putting one in the ground and see if it doesn’t make it through the winter like one of the ones you grew from seed
@@wellnessandcountrylife Excuse me, my family has had a kalamansi plant that they've had for roughly five or so years that has yet to EVER bear any fruit. I'm not sure what they've been doing wrong and are considering to dispose of them as they haven't produced any results. They've brought them in every winter (unsure if they've fertilized them), but have kept them alive all this time.
@@WahligmaHi was the kalamansi planted from seed? It takes a while to produce if it's from seeds. A bigger container is needed. Prune unnecessary branches, and fertilize every year.
Hi dapat may ilaw talaga pra maka survive ang lemon tree. Also.make sure you bring the tree inside before mag tag lamig or before late fall pra hindi ma shock ang tree. Malalagas ang mga dahon if it gets temperature shock.
I do prune prune them, but to shape, not a lot because I like the fuller size. I usually prune the top as it reach the.ceiling. This year it also has 4 fruits. Mostly my fruits are from the grafted ones. Thanks for your suggeation.
@@wellnessandcountrylife I'm in 8A and just bought a wimpy calamondin from Lowe's because it's the only one I could find. I know they grow fast though so I'm ready to have it along with my Meyer lemon. From what I've heard this thing can survive outside around here with the proper prep work. Like putting against South facing brick wall with heavy mulch or even cement pavers in the winter to keep soil from freezing. They should be able to withstand the winters but will take a longer time to get going in the spring. It's less work though, so worth a shot for me.
@@StevenStGelais I can try on my citrus plant from seeds. But not the grafted ones. I think winter in TN will kill my calamondin, that's why I've not bothered planting them in ground.
@@wellnessandcountrylife i also heard that there's an orange that's hardy to zone 5. The downside is that it's not sweet. It's only good for making marmalade. Not evergreen either.
@@eljefe8149 yes, it's the trifoliata "dragon orange" it's a hardy orange. But it's sour. I try to grow from seeds last year but thry didn't grow. Might try again later
Actually when I fertilize it is when it flowers and bears fruits. Also pruning helps. It takes a while talaga mag bunga pag galing sa seeds, plus it's root-bound very dependent sa fertilizer to thrive
@@wellnessandcountrylife bad news pala saken kase 4months old palang calamansi ko from seeed :( did you ever had a fruits since tinanim mo siya? If yes after how many year before you got fruits?

You are growing so many wonderful plant native to the Phils, Marie.
Hahaha! I'm glad that some tropical plants can be planted here.
good important info sis ty
Nice for you to have a Kalamansi. I started planting 1 grafted . Ready to harvest fruit. Beautiful video.
Yay for the harvest! Enjoy. And thanks for your commment 🙂
Wow ..lemonsito.,calamansi or calamondin..ah basta damo na og benefits sa atoa lawas ..

Very important information my friend thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I need to learn how to plant this, i love citrus fruit og kadaghan sa harangday, sa pag sugod pa lang taas ra ba
Very easy te. Start in containers
Nice information
Thanks for sharing 🌱🌷🌷
Most welcome
If I plant the seeds from the green calamansi, will it still grow or must it be from the ripe orange ones?
Wootching😁😁😁❤️
Thank you for sharing- reassures me that my container bound Kalamansi will be okay for years to come. I have mine for more than two years now and only this year that it is bearing fruits.
Hi if you have the grafted, store-bought kind your kalamansi should be fine. It bears fruit quicker compare to the plant from seeds.
@@wellnessandcountrylife Good to know, thank you, Marie. (Tukayo tayo...lol)
Beautiful. I just-harvested some I live in Fl I like to squeeze some in my ice water with a little sugar.
Refreshing!
What kind of fertilizer do you use for winter? Im also growing my kalamasi and the leafs are getting yellow
It needs nitrogen. Your soil needs compost and organic matter. There are available citrus fertilzers you can buy.
L3 Lemon Citruss is during seasons theyre grow well , some friends gave you from Turkey nd 12 years old already .. great Sis..
If you live in 4 season country, lemons die in freezing climate. They cool but not frost. take them indoor if you plant them in containers.
I love your video. Unsa man fertilizer imong gigamit? I started lemoncito from seeds too. Naay tunok. Live in Washington so tugnaw diri. I have three in the making.
Just a store-bought fertilizer. I keep them indoor during winter months
Do you sell grafted calamondin?
I've sold a few to my friends, but I didn't graft them..i bought them from Lowe's
@@wellnessandcountrylife I wish I can send photo here, I’m not sure if my calamondin is growing flower buds or just leaf buds

Hello! Yeah you should trim or prune it so it branches out. It makes the kalamansi shape fuller
Did I see you selling stuff on Facebook or craigslist and you have the green limes Kiefer too
Hi, no it's not me 🙂
I just bought mine. And just wanted to ask when should i fertilize it? May bunga na siya, and some of it iharvest ko na. Pero may mga ilang flowers pa po. Is it okay to feed them fertiliser na?
You can fertilize twice a year. In Spring and Fall.
Their self pollinating you don't have to worry about it
Yes it is self-pollinating

Is it normal for the plant to lose leaves when you bring it indoor for the winter?

It needs a bigger container. It does take long before it bears fruit. Just keep fertilizing and pruning. If anything, it can help purify indoor air.
I heard those are really cold tolerant specially when they’re bigger, you might want to try putting one in the ground and see if it doesn’t make it through the winter like one of the ones you grew from seed
Hi I will have to try and risk one plant to plant in the ground outside. I have a feeling it will die in TN, there's freezing winter here

You should prune those back about half way. It will wake your tree up and it'll start flowering like crazy.
I do prune prune them, but to shape, not a lot because I like the fuller size. I usually prune the top as it reach the.ceiling. This year it also has 4 fruits. Mostly my fruits are from the grafted ones. Thanks for your suggeation.
Wish to have a calamansi farm in the Phils
wala ba jan sa Dubai sis? maka palit mo ug grafted ones.
You could also grow fig trees
Hello, we could. We have fig trees to plant soon. Thank you!
Some of yours look mature enough to survive tenessee winter in the ground with proper mulch

A Calamondin tree would survive the winter in California. Me and some neighbors have Calamondins planted in the ground.
I know I feel jealous that you can grow it year-round 😀
Change the pot please,ur tree will love u!
That's the biggest pot I could carry and out 🤣 the option is not to have the plany at all. It's heavy
