I grow cucumbers and strawberries. Growing your own fruits and vegetables is fun and they taste so much better because you can control the environment as well as add the best nutes. I was thinking about growing some form of Dwarf citrus, preferably oranges. Does anyone else here love to grow vegetables and fruits or have experience growing any form of Dwarf Citrus?
Have experience of growing weed (and weeds in the garden)
You can usually grow citrus in large pots indoors, putting them out in the sunlight when in flower for bees etc to pollenate and again when you want the fruit to ripen. Get more than one tree of each otherwise your fruit will be weak.
Yea, I have been looking at some Dwarf Citrus Blood Oranges, supposedly you can't grow them from seed, likely hood is that they will not grow? I didn't read to much more into that, but doesn't make sense. And they take forever to grow, so you have to get some cuttings from a nursery. BAH to that! I want to grow from seed. Cloning takes all the fun out of growing from the very beginning.
Yea, they will most likely be in 3-4 gallon pots if I do it. That should give the roots plenty of room to grow. I was thinking about trying them out in my grow room when I have room for them. I got a 400 watt MH/HPS setup that should be plenty of light for them. Switchable ballast is the way to go if you are doing one grow cycle at a time.
It's a blood orange, It's suppose to be like that. The color comes from a pigment that you see in many flowers. It's a cross breed between a mandarin and a grapefruit.
