Usually, I cannot watch a long video but this is the best and worth watching the whole one. I learn a lot more from one video than other 50 videos. Thank you so much for spending so much time to show every detail.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. You are so sweet and great at explaining everything and you are in MY ZONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am so excited to grow!
Thank you, this is the best video I've seen about kaffir lime plant care.
Very informative. its good to see a tree years after you planted it from seed.
I like how you are so dedicated to your plants
Such a wonderful presentation. Thank you for sharing.
A wonderful, thought and really informative video. Thank you!
you're so resourceful, and your curry paste looks phenomenal, I can smell it from here!
I really enjoyed this video 😃. It is very informative.
So informative. You can't beat first hand experience. Love the usage tips at the end. Thank you so much for sharing. ( Mal's wife Sue )
Awesome video packed full of helpful information. I am really excited to try growing a dwarf Kaffir Lime. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Gardening!
This video is hilariously comprehensive, all in a nice southern accent
This video is excellent. Thank you for such a wonderful content.
Love your video. I usually don't watch long videos but with your video can't resist because it's so informative
Thank you for such a detailed video. Very helpful indeed.
Thank you for this incredibly helpful information.
Thanks for sharing the "good, bad and ugly" of growing lime trees s. I'd love to grow some citrus trees (grafted). 😁
Wow...You are a Very Productive Person...Thank You...
Thank you, a very informative video. I will also be growing in containers, as I know that I am growing in a totally unsuitable part of the world (Wales, UK). I have an insulated greenhouse and intend adding heating, so the trees should be spared the harshest of the weather - saying that the greenhouse doesn't suffer any damage. You are correct about the thorns; I have a Yuzu and some of the spikes are about 4cm long, and very strong -in fact they would serve well as a security barrier as no one would want to brush past them - I have been caught enough, working with them! Thanks for sharing.
This video is very informative, I like it, not bored at all when watching this video.
Best video ever. Thank you. Finally found answers
THANK YOU ♥ for all the great information on growing the trees and using the leaves in cooking. I am learning to cook Thai food. I can't wait to buy a tree for my patio!!
Wonderful! I hope you were able to check out this other video too! czcams.com/video/5Gts9dTs4aU/video.html
Omg is wonderful video. Thank you so much . I know best way to care and cook with Kaffir Lime now 👏
I never watched any how-to video that's over 10mins long so when I saw yours was almost 30mins I was ready to press fast forward. To my surprise, it's very good and kept me watching to the very end. Thank you for so much good info.
By far, the best tutorial I have seen about Kaffir Limes. They grow well in Zone 9b. Excellent advice about using the lime juice around the house! 💥
Thanks so much!
Awesome. Your video is jam packed with useful info. We skin the zest, then blend the zest in a food processor until it's in powder form.
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your insights!
Great video, informative well put together. From garden to kitchen and the tips are wonderful thanks

Thank you so much. It's hard to find material for the citrus hystrix and I purhcased one recently needing repotting and care. This was the most helpful video I could find for it by far!
a free video with 10 years of knowledge, thanks !
Excellent video and worth watching. You have some great tips on how to care for Kaffir Lime citrus trees. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
The Fruitsof the Kaffir Lime tree add a very nice flavour to food. You can try a peanut butter sauce with one or two limes cut in half on blanched vegetable mix like cauliflower, tauge, and baby carrots. It's perfect in summer and with the peanut sauce even children will love the veggies
Such a great video!!! Have to grow me a lime tree. Really liked the idea of making a natural cleaning solution with the lime juice.
Thank you!
Very instructif . Thank you

Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for upload, very helpful, nice and happy smile voice.
You're welcome 😊
Fantastic video! I have one kaffir lime I love it.
Yes, they are sooo nice to have around! Thanks for watching!
the best video about Kaffir limes i’ve seen so far! Ours fruited last summer and i kept the seeds. In the winter however we lost it, as we got 5 inches of snow here in Charleston SC. I put about 100 seeds in wet paper towels/ziplock bags and germinated about 50 seeds. Moved to a seedling tray with grow lite and 45 of them are doing great and about 4 inches tall. i guess i’ll be swimming in Kaffirs here in a bit. Will take a while bit am looking forward to this second generation doing well.
Good job!
rufush. how ur kaffir lime trees from the seeds ? : )
This was a great video... Thank you !
Thank you! Happy Gardening!
This was a fabulous video! Now I have the bug to grow a tree!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I hope you give it a try. The Meyer lemon trees are nice to grow too with delicious fruit (part lemon / part orange).

Extremely informative. Tq for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video. Love from India❤️
Very well done video. Thanks for the info!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. I am growing 4 this year and this was timely
Wonderful! What varieties are you growing?
Rainbow Gardens Meyer Lemon, Ponderosa Lemon, Calmondin Lime and Keylime lime quat
Thank you very much for putting this very informative video! I have a kaffir like tree that I purchased from a nursery a year ago and there hasn’t been much progress as far as growth. Sounds like it’s time for me to place it in a larger pot. You mention a potting soil would be best, are there any fertilizers you would recommend I add to the soil?
What a lovely and informative video. I have a mature kaffir lime tree coming in the post, and your advice is well noted and appreciated. I hope I get 100 limes in the near future. So important for Thai curry pastes, and they cost a fortune here from online suppliers! 🌱❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I am in zone 8b, I think I will try growing a Meyer lemon tree in a container. Your video is so well done and informative. Thank you!
I lived in zone 8b and my neighbor had a Meyer lemon tree planted outdoors in the ground. I also had a neighbor who had a huge red grapefruit tree. It is so nice to have fresh picked citrus. You will love it! I enjoy my Meyer lemon in soda water and the zest in desserts like cookies and cupcakes. YUM!
Rainbow Gardens really planted outside!?! Interesting! I’m zone 8b and just inherited a Meyers lemon tree cause it has scale, assuming soft as it’s sticky.
We’ll see how it goes!
Gonna keep it indoors for the winter at this point.
great video
Such a lovely video and so helpful. I plan on purchasing a keifer lime tree as I live in zone 8. The Spring and Summers are hot. I will grow my tree in a container as well. I really enjoyed how you use all of your limes for cooking and cleaning. You have a new subbie😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing. I've seen some of your videos and they are very interesting, educational, and entertaining. Looks like you almost have all ingredients/spices plants to cook Indonesian rendang (curry). I hope you still have your kafir lime trees.
Fabulous and informative video. Having lost my Kaffir plant to UK's cold weather, I am looking forward to growing some from seed. Thank you for all your tips, especially about the scale insects, which my plants have always been plagued with.
Hi Fiona, have you any luck growing a Kaffir lime tree in UK? How did you winterise it?
@@milinlim5211 I have about 40 plants grown from seed and after 1 year, they are about 20 cm tall. They have been outside all summer and looking pretty healthy. I have just brought them inside and they are on every available window ledge and I am fast running out of space!
@@fionapeek1017 wow, I have only managed to germinate 1 from seeds in 3 years ... 😂
Beautiful
Awesome video, thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks so much! I have many more coming your way !
I totally enjoyed this video. I have a nice sized kaffir lime tree and I've started several cuttings from it. Still no fruit. My Indonesian wife loves using the leaves for cooking her traditional foods. I also have a beautiful mandarin orange tree I grew from seed. Still no fruit. Or flowers. I have an asian pear tree that I grew from seed about eight years ago and I got about a dozen very sweet pears last year. I plant Kemangi seeds every year for her. And a lot of hot peppers for her hot pepper oil. 😁
I just enjoy your videos so much I can almost smell the kaffir limes through my computer. I have a small lime tree that has yet to produce limes for me.
My citrus trees always seem to respond well to a nice dressing of a complex compost. Have you tried high-end compost?
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing. My Kaffir lime trees are grown in pots, and have plenty of fruits every year. I don't have scales problems however I have leaf miners that kept attacking younger leaves. How do you get rid of those pests?
Thank you so much for such a great and informative video! I have recently started growing a few Kaffir limes and am not much of a gardener to say the least, so your tips were very useful.
It was interesting that you water from the bottom, because I had read that you keep the bottom free of water and let the roots drain well, but if it works for you I will give it a whirl. Thanks again.
Thank you! I try not to have my plants sit in standing water because it can cause root rot. However, if it takes it up within a few hours, then I know it needs water.
This video was extremely helpful, as I have a large Kaffir lime tree that has gone rogue, and the leaves are not aromatic any longer. It has tons of sucker growing out from the trunk. Now I know I need to cut all those off and find out if it will grow the fragment leaves. Thank for the helpful tips on insects I will check for that also. I just bought a 4 inch lime tree on line, and I have it under a grow light. Wish me luck. Thank you. Marci B
Brilliant thanks 👍
Super informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I just bought a Mejier Lemon and have been inspired by you to grow a Kiefer Lime tree. I often use a lime a day and worry if the skin is truly organic/pesticide free. I will try growing one from seed. I hope to have success as you have. Thanks again!
Good information .really informative.
Glad it was helpful!
New subscriber. Thank you.
Love your videos what kind of ferderrizer do you use
Great video, very helpful. One question: what insecticide did you use that was finally able to get rid of the bugs?
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Love your video iam excited to try to grow lime 🌳 trees but whats the name of the the plant strater soil you use and were can i fine it
Loved your video
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow beautiful. I ❤ it
Thank you! 😊
A big wow
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks! I have been growing citrus for years, and I'm just starting some Kaffir seeds I was gifted from a friend.. Hey, FYI, look into transitioning over to a lighter soil mix. There's a ton of different recipes online, but the one I switched over to is: "The basic mix is 1:1:1, pine bark fines: Turface: crushed granite. It's perfect to grow that go 2-3 years between repots." I am able to buy turface from a lawn/outdoor supply company for cheap. Also, I used coarse sand and crusher run gravel instead of granite. My trees are loving the extra drainage.
Could you please show the steps of grafting the kaffir lime tree? I could not find the technique. Thank you very much. It's an excellent video.
Well done video
Thank you so much!
Great video! What are your potting mixtures and do you use citrus tone fertilizer? I found some information on germination of the seed and it’s instructions were to use 1 part peroxide, 3 part water. What you recommend? Your video was very simple, just damp paper towel in ziplock. I rather try that. Thank you!
i love your video i need help with my kaffir lime tree .the leave turn brow on end, can you send me what kind of fertilizer you use to feed your tree?
Very nice dear how you plants lemond
Someone sold me a Kaffir Lime however I thought I was getting a Kalamansi tree. I quickly learned what I had by the distinctive shape of the Kaffir. leaf.
Wow your tree has so many fruits, wish my is like that. I have a good size of kaffir tree,, but my only has less than 10 fruits each time. Thank you for sharing good tips.
When you decide to take some leaves for cooking just cut off the outer half of the leaf on the Kaffir Lime, it gives the plant more foliage left which is good for both the plant itself and it's aesthetics
Hort/oil is the best, its all you need for all pests .!. Cheers🇨🇦
interesting video. btw if anyone has bugs on their citrus i really do recommend using the oil type pesticides which are really safe but they should not be allowed to dry and must be rinsed off after use.
Interesting! Thank you.
Can you tell me what fertilizer you used for the seedlings and what kind if potting soil do you use? Thank you
