Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months or if the plant is in a shadier location.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Light pruning can be done throughout the year.

Makrut limes are typically propagated by grafting or air layering for best results. Cuttings can be taken but often root with difficulty.

Seeds can be sown but may not produce true-to-type fruit and take many years to mature.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for citrus plants. Repot in spring.
