I recently purchased a dwarf algerian tangerine, it will grow in a container and put under grow lights for the winter, then go outside in spring/summer.
The plant looks super healthy and has several fruits (still very small) on it. What will I need to aid in pollination? I currently have meyer lemons and bearss limes. Will these work?

Algerian tangerine (Clementine) is one citrus that needs a pollenizer. The lemon should work out fine, just make sure it is in the vicinity of the mandarin when blooming.

Thanks so much!

Also if they happen to be inside during bloom time, can i just pollinate with a small brush myself?

Yes you can use a brush. However, note that both trees will, or course, have to be in bloom at the same time.
