Tangerine Citrus Tree

To grow a Tangerine ; in New England, provide ample sunlight and warmth indoors during cooler months and protect it from frost and cold temperatures. Water consistently to keep soil moist but not soggy, and fertilize during the growing season. Overwintering requires bringing the plant indoors to a bright location before the first frost, and adjusting it back to outdoor conditions gradually in the spring.

Sunlight: Ensure the tree receives full sun when outdoors in summer. Indoors, place it near a very bright, sunny window. 

Soil & Fertilizer: Use a citrus-specific fertilizer and fertile, well-draining, slightly acidic soil. 

Watering: Water consistently, especially during the growing season, when the top inch of soil feels dry. 

Overwintering: Gradually adjust the tree to indoor light conditions for two weeks before bringing it inside for winter. 

Pest Control: Inspect the tree for insects before bringing it indoors to avoid spreading pests to other houseplants. 

Pruning: Lightly prune to maintain airflow and shape.
