- Growing tropical fruit trees in containers can be a rewarding venture! Here are some tips to help you succeed:
Choose the Right Varieties:
Look for dwarf or smaller varieties of tropical fruit trees, such as dwarf citrus (like lemons or limes), figs, or certain types of mangoes.
Select Appropriate Containers:
Use pots that are at least 12-18 inches in diameter. Ensure they have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Use Quality Soil:
A well-draining potting mix is essential. You can mix standard potting soil with perlite or sand to improve drainage.
Location and Sunlight:
Place your containers in a sunny spot, ideally getting 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. If you’re in a cooler climate, consider moving them indoors or to a greenhouse during colder months.
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Container plants may need more frequent watering than those in the ground, especially in hot weather.
Fertilizing:
Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for fruit trees. Fertilize every few months during the growing season.
Pruning:
Regularly prune your trees to encourage bushier growth and to remove any dead or diseased branches.
Pest Control:
Keep an eye out for pests and diseases. Organic insecticides or neem oil can help manage any infestations.
Winter Care:
If you live in a cooler climate, bring your containers indoors or protect them with frost cloths during winter. Tropical fruit trees generally can't tolerate frost.
Repotting:
Every couple of years, repot your trees to refresh the soil and provide more room for growth.
By following these guidelines, you can enjoy fresh tropical fruits right from your container garden!
MY Video how i start and germinate my fruit tree seeds:

It's an amazing collection Thomas, I do find the tiny seedlings really struggle indoors for a long time
Yes but for me it’s easyer to germinate them and have them the first months inside because spring time is really unpredictable in Austria. And they would die if they would be outside with a night temp at 0 degrees. So it’s easyer to have them in a more or less controlled environment.
Your plant collection video absolutely good iam happy thank you
Nice video Thomas!
Amazing with the flowering jackfruit 😍
I am pretty sure the cerrado section need taller pots and ofcourse the 3 months drought. My klotzschiana and campininhas (is it from cerrado?) and p. Nanas are doing great in tall pots and are following their natural growth habit in almost no organic material
Thank you 🙏
Yea I thought about that. The pots are still the starter pots. I will transplant them this week
Great video! What kind of lights are you using? I just moved from California to Minnesota and am going to need to move some of my tropical inside under lights
Im using full spectrum LED from Mars
