To ensure your Calamondin tree remains healthy, place it in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. When watering, allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between applications to prevent root rot; over-watering is a common cause of leaf drop. During the growing season, a balanced citrus fertilizer can be applied according to package instructions to support fruit development. If temperatures drop below freezing, move the plant to a sheltered indoor location or a frost-free garage to protect the root system. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively.
