Kaffir Lime Tree - Citrus Hystrix Plant in 12cm Pot Approx 25 cm Tall

I ordered a lime tree & received three random plants, so sent them back and ordered again. I got a lime tree. Well packed, but not able to withstand the couriers heavy handed treatment. The tree was ok anyway, just a lot of mud all over the box. Worth the money though.

I bought 2 pots back in April and I was disappointed. The plants were only 15 cm for the tallest one, not 25cm as described. These plants grow much slower than the other citrus. They only started to grow new leaves about 1 month ago. It wasn't realistic to return as you would lose £5.99 original postage and could potentially have to pay the return postage as well. However, the good thing is the plants were healthy and there were 4 little plants in each pot.

Plant dead or dying on arrival

Healthy good sized plant, exactly as advertised. Has been re-potted and has grown larger. It does need a lot of light and warmth so it has been in our greenhouse with a shade netting to protect from the harsh mid-day sun but the plant is looking very healthy. Furthermore, it is a true Kaffir Lime plant - (Citrus hystrix).

Terrific on all levels.

I bought two because I know how easy they dieBoth are fine and have new leaves as picsThey grow quite slowly anywayi will be moving them to larger pots in the next mouth or so

Very surprised to see the plant so tiny. Each leaf is smaller than my finger tip.Hope it will grow big...

Looked fine on arrival, one stem has subsequently curled and died, while i am now treating an infestation of both Mealybug & a yellowish aphid i believe to be Cotton Aphid, neither species were present in my home, and the plant was quarantined on arrival.
