Limes Fun Facts

You can grow your own limes with no thorns and no seeds, if you plant the Persian variety. They tolerate USDA hardiness zones 8 through 1, or you can plant them indoors in large pots with drain holes. But remember, they can reach heights of 12 feet or more. They like lots of light, but only indirect or the leaves may wilt. In cooler regions, place them under grow lights and water them generously at first, then just a few times a week. Apply fertilizer and micronutrients once a year.
