I work in a laboratory with no windows...in the winter I grow weary with little sunlight....this set up seems to work well for my Citrus aurantifolia....the light is on a timer (on for 18 hours per day). The green plus the extra light lift my spirits during the day.

Interesting tree.
But the first thing that crossed my mind when seeing it was a woman standing on her hands..

Is that just a 120 watt spiral-type integrated CFL? Or do they make those in special grow bulbs?

When I was in a similar situation, starting 40 years ago, I got permission to bring in a 2 foot standing fluorescent fixture. My last clinical employment was in a hospital, so they put a safety cord & a three-way plug on my lamp. Nowadays, I think management is more attuned to employees' mental health, although not in the present economy. I think they are building offices with more windows, also. It never hurts to ask.

Yes, it does Storm! I love the image! Now, whenever I see this tree, I see the woman...standing on her hands. Laughing

My solution was to rotate the trees on a weekly basis, with at least six weeks between visits indoors.

Thank you, Russell...Regarding your question, possibly...however, I think I will let it develop in its current container for some time.

Thank you all for the kind words....I appreciate it. Dale: over the years the fruit I harvested (very good by the way) yielded only enough to garnish a few gin and tonics (also very good)...

Very nice Tom,

Funny, I'm from Key West where the key lime,( and of course key lime pie) originates, but have never thought of trying one for bonsai !! But it is now on my "to do" list thanks to you.

Happy New Year,

Ed

Good day to you, Ed...thanks for the kind words...I wish you and yours a peaceful and joyful New Years as well. I would imagine you would have great stock to choose from where you are located.

Best regards,

Me too Ed.

I always keep and eye out at Home Depot and Lowes, especially in Ft. Walton Beach (better variety than here). This seems to be one that I can actually find NOT grafted, a giant plus!
