My plants have been indoors for three weeks now and seem to be doing quite well. There have been very few dropped leaves to this
point so (fingers crossed) they will do well through the winter. They are either in a South or West facing window.

My West window - Satsuma, Meiwa, Meyer

Satsuma photo is a little dark:

Meiwa, had a lot of die off this summer, I didn't think it would make it for a while there:

Meyers is going crazy right now, one large fruit in the back and tons of flowers:




My South window - Nagami, Meyers, Plumeria

Lots of fruit on my Nagami, looks great for the holiday's

Had to take this photo from below to get the fruit



It's not citrus but it's my first inflo in two years! I was not sure if it would continue to bloom inside but it looks like it is doing fine. I took it outside so I could get a good close-up photo



This is about 50% of the plants in my 2 bedroom apartment. Thank god I have an understanding better half Smile

Take care and Happy Holiday's to everyone!

Thanks Benny!
I've always had a green thumb but, I'm a rookie when it comes to citrus (11 months now). The good folks and everyones advise I obtained from this website deserve the credit

Very healthy looking plants & nice pics John. Do you give them any supplemental lighting?

Patty they just get what Mother Nature provides, with the exposures being South and West with good sized windows they are getting about 4 hours direct and 3-4 indirect right now.

Last year I kept the Plumeria actively growing in these windows throughout the winter. I figured if it was enough light for it then citrus would work also. So far so good. By the way, the first bloom on my plumeria opened this weekend, man does it ever smell great!

I'll take updated photo's in Jan-Feb and let everyone know how they are doing, hopefully they won't be sticks by that time.....
