So the space on the deck is nearly full, and what's left is reserved for whenever I find an opportunity to obtain a Satsuma and Sanbokan lemon! Very Happy

I do have some space in front of my south facing window that needs 1 or 2 (or 3) houseplants -- soo, why not more citrus?

For 100% indoor growing, the cultivars my research suggests would be good are:

Limes (Tahitian/Persian such as Bearss)
Lemon (Not Meyer - I've already got 2 of those - I was thinking Lisbon, Eureka or Harvey)
Trovita orange
Variegated Calamondin (I've already got a normal one)
Oro Blanco

Does anyone have any thoughts on which are best suited to indoor growing in year-round 65 -75 degreeF temps, and southern exposure? Any of these I listed, or any others I missed?

I know where I can get Oro Blanco locally, but the others might require mail order or trading.


Thanks for your thoughts!

Maybe an Australian Finger Lime would grow well indoors
because it is an understory tree or bush.
