Australian Finger Lime ‘Russell River’ Care Guide:

• Sunlight: This plant thrives in a full-sun location (at least 6-8 hours of direct light daily) but is also adaptable to medium sun. Place near a south- or west-facing window indoors or on a sunny patio or in the garden outdoors.

• Watering: Potted citrus like \'Russell River\' require consistent moisture but not overwatering. Allow the top 1-2 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering thoroughly until water drains from the bottom. Ensure the pot has proper drainage.

• Soil: Citrus trees need extremely well-draining soil. A rich potting mix amended with perlite, orchid bark, or sand works excellently. Use a general-purpose citrus-specific soil mix if available.

• Feeding: Citrus are heavy feeders. Use a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for citrus trees at half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the active growing seasons (spring and summer). Reduce or cease feeding during winter.

• Humidity: Citrus trees generally appreciate moderate humidity. Indoors, mist the foliage occasionally or place on a pebble tray with water. Do not let the pot sit in standing water.

• Pruning: \'Russell River\' has an upright habit and dense canopy, requiring minimal pruning. You can lightly prune to maintain shape or encourage branching after flowering, but avoid over-pruning to preserve fruiting potential.

Arrival Expectations:

A yellowed leaf or a small snapped twig is a natural part of the transit process and does not compromise the vitality of the root system. Simply prune away any minor damage to stimulate the emergence of fresh, vigorous growth as the plant acclimates to your environment.
