Aromatic kaffir limes (Citrus hystrix), with their wrinkled fruits and glossy foliage, add a delicious flavor to many Thai, Indonesian, and Cambodian dishes. The youthful leaves can be finely destroyed for servings of mixed greens, while mature leaves are torn or thrown entire into sautés, curries, soups and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Kaffirs add a lemony-spicy flavor through their leaves, rinds, and juice. While fresh or dried kaffir lime leaves can be purchased, growing your own dwarf tree is more fun. These citrus fruits, also known botanically as Citrus hystrix, are sometimes sold as Thai or kieffer limes. In cold weather, dwarf kaffirs, which can grow to 5 feet, will die. However, if you provide the right growing conditions, you can enjoy your tree indoors even if you live in an area with cold winters. Kaffirs require 8 to 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. A south or southwest window with 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day and full spectrum or fluorescent plant lights will also work. However, plants require regular periods of light and darkness, so do not constantly illuminate them.) Start your tree in a 6- to 9-inch container if it is a 1-year-old plant. Two to 3-year-old trees can go into 12-to 14-inch pots. Choose a potting mix that drains easily and use a container with drainage holes or drill some in the bottom. Use an outdoor mix instead of ordinary garden soil or one made for houseplants if you can't find a citrus potting mix. Mixtures for houseplants hold water, keeping citrus roots too wet. Using two parts cedar shavings, one part compost, and one part sand, some gardeners prefer to make their own mix. Place your kaffir lime in an area with good airflow, but keep it away from the heating and cooling vents. Typically, watering once per week is sufficient. The soil ought to remain moist but not soggy. Don't water just because the surface of the soil appears dry. To determine whether the soil is dry further down, closer to the roots, use a moisture meter or a sharpened wooden dowel inserted into the soil at various depths. Use a small humidifier or mist your lime with water to get more moisture. Additionally, growing houseplants in a humid kitchen or bathroom or grouping them together helps. A citrus fertilizer or slow-release product containing a 2-1-1 ratio of nitrogen (N) to phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) is a good choice because citrus trees require a lot of nitrogen. Apply according to the label's instructions for when and how much. Your best bet is a citrus fertilizer because it contains the necessary trace minerals for these trees: manganese, zinc, and iron The removal of any thorns from your dwarf kaffir is acceptable. They are useless in the interior. Anytime the branches cross or rub against one another, prune the tree to maintain its shape. Kaffirs can go outside to enjoy a vacation in the sun and fresh air once there is no longer any chance of frost. Just move slowly to avoid shocking your tree with sudden changes in light and temperature. Before putting it in direct sunlight, move it to an area with some shade for about a week. Kaffirs pollinate themselves. Enjoy the fruits, along with their leaves, juice, and zest, in your favorite dishes when they turn a light yellow.
