It will also take three to four years for your tangerine to bear fruit. Like other houseplants, one size up in pot size should be enough. As it grows, your tree will need to be repotted about every three to four years. Unlike some other fruits, tangerine trees need no pruning. When talking about how to care for a tangerine tree, we would be remiss not to mention the future. During the time your potted tangerine tree is outdoors, it will need to be watered daily. When your tangerine tree is indoors, it will need to be watered when just the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Follow the same process in the fall when temperatures begin to drop. (4 C.), it's safe to move your tree outdoors - although, like most houseplants, gradually moving your tangerine to its new microclimate will prevent shock and the loss of leaves. When the weather is consistently above 40 degrees F. Set your pot in a sunny place and let nature take its course. Tangerine trees grown in a pot need to be fertilized at least twice a year and as soon as you see new growth, it's time to begin. Now that you're finished potting, it's time to talk about how to care for a tangerine tree. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, for at least a week or two and then water regularly. Young tangerine trees need plenty of water until they're settled in their new home. Set the tree at the same level as it came from the nursery and tamp the soil down well. Place your tree into the pot and fill the area around the roots with soil. Most good potting soils are already neutral and the addition of peat can drive the pH into the acid range. Tangerine trees like a neutral soil pH, so it's a good idea to wash off as much of the peat around the root ball as you can. Which brings us to the second item before planting. Just make sure there are a few inches (8 cm.) of free soil around the root ball than there was in the container it came in. While potted citrus trees don't mind being a little pot bound, you want to give your growing tangerine's roots plenty of room to expand. First, you'll need a container that leaves plenty of room for growth. To know how to grow tangerines best, you'll need to gather a few things before you unwrap your tree. The plant will be grafted onto a rootstock and already have a year or two of growth. It's much better to purchase your tangerine trees from a reputable nursery. You might be tempted to try growing tangerines from seed, but in all likelihood, the tangerine trees that result from your efforts won't bear the fruit you're expecting. Tangerine tree growth is dependent on lots of sun, so choose a sunny spot as well. Even in warmer climates, it's best to choose a sheltered place for planting. While they withstand cold temperatures better than most citrus, they still can't survive a hard freeze. Unless you live in a tropical or sub-tropical region, you'll be growing tangerines in a pot.
