Citrus trees also do well indoors, as long as they are provided with at least four hours of direct sunlight each day. A citrus tree can be kept in a breakfast room or on an enclosed porch with plenty of light, or it can be moved to take advantage of the sunshine.
The best pick for homegrown citrus is a dwarf variety, a plant that is grafted onto special rootstock that prevents the tree from growing too large. Many citrus trees can be grown as dwarves, including Meyer lemon, kaffir lime, and 'Trovita' and calamondin oranges, which are amenable to indoor cultivation.
