Citrus × latifolia – Lime

Citrus × latifolia – Lime is a Persian or Tahiti lime type with glossy evergreen leaves, scented white flowers and medium-sized limes with aromatic green rind. It forms a woody branching tree in warm climates and stays manageable in a container with seasonal pruning, regular feeding and bright frost-free winter care.

The fruit is usually picked green for fresh acidity, although mature limes can turn yellow on the tree. In pot culture, Citrus × latifolia develops a rounded branching crown, repeated leaf flushes during warm bright periods and fruiting wood that needs full sun and a well-aerated root zone.

Persian lime foliage, flowers and green fruit

  • Fruit: Medium-sized limes with aromatic rind and juicy segmented flesh.
  • Leaves: Evergreen, glossy leaves with a clean citrus scent when bruised.
  • Growth habit: Woody branching tree that can be kept compact in a pot.
  • Flowers: White scented citrus blooms that can develop into fruit under strong light.
  • Pot culture: Movable lime tree for full sun, drainage and bright winter rest above about 10°C.

Persian lime hybrid background and growth habit

Citrus × latifolia is an artificial hybrid citrus in Rutaceae and is commonly known as Persian lime or Tahiti lime. Its complex hybrid background involves Citrus hystrix, Citrus maxima, Citrus medica and Citrus reticulata, reflecting the layered ancestry behind many cultivated limes.

In a container, the plant builds a woody framework with glossy leaves and flushes of new growth during warm bright periods. Strong summer light increases the chance of flowering and gives developing fruit enough time to size before the cooler season.

Persian lime seasonal container care

  • Light: Give full sun during the outdoor growing season. Under cover, use the brightest possible position and supplement light if winter conditions are dim.
  • Water: Water deeply, then wait until the upper part of the substrate has dried before watering again. Keep winter watering lighter in cool conditions.
  • Substrate: Use a citrus substrate with excellent drainage and lasting air spaces. Add mineral components if the mix compacts quickly.
  • Wintering: Move under protection before nights fall below about 10°C. A bright place around 10–12°C keeps growth slower and watering easier to control.
  • Nutrition: Use citrus fertiliser from spring through early autumn. Include micronutrients, as potted limes can yellow when iron, magnesium or manganese availability drops.
  • Potting: Keep the plant in a drainage pot and repot gradually in spring when roots fill the container.
  • Fruit set: Outdoor pollinators usually handle fruit set in summer. Under cover, hand-pollinate fresh flowers if the plant blooms inside.
  • Crown care: Remove weak inward growth and shorten long shoots after harvest to keep the tree open and easy to move.

Persian lime foliage and fruit checks

  • Brown leaf edges: Review drying winds, salt buildup, irregular watering and heat behind glass.
  • Heavy fruit load on a small plant: Check branch strain and watering consistency. Thin fruit if the young tree is carrying more than the crown can hold.
  • Yellow leaves after winter: Check root moisture, temperature and feed timing. Cold damp substrate can reduce nutrient uptake even when fertiliser is present.
  • Pest marks: Inspect leaf undersides and stems for spider mites, scale, whitefly and mealybug before moving the plant under winter protection.

Persian lime peel oils and name

Peel, leaves and citrus oils can irritate pets that chew lime material. Remove dropped fruit, loose leaves and cut stems where pets can reach them, and prune carefully around thorny shoots.

The generic name Citrus is drawn from older Latin citrus naming. The epithet latifolia means broad-leaved, from Latin latus for broad and folium for leaf. Citrus × latifolia sits within Rutaceae and is commonly known as Persian lime or Tahiti lime.

Great Sunscreen for Kids
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I used this Coppertone Pure and Simple Kids Sunscreen Spray on my kids during a recent beach trip, and I was really impressed. The spray application is super convenient, especially when dealing with active children who won’t stay still. I love that it’s made with zinc oxide and is completely tear-free—no complaints even when it got close to their eyes. It’s mineral-based and gentle on my children’s sensitive skin, with no irritation at all. The SPF 50 provided great protection, and I noticed they didn’t get sunburned even after hours of playing outside. It’s water-resistant, so I didn’t have to reapply constantly after swimming. I also appreciate that it’s free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. The 5 oz size is perfect to throw in a beach bag or backpack. It’s definitely become my go-to sunscreen for outdoor playdates and sports. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a reliable, kid-friendly sunscreen.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin & So Convenient!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this sunscreen! The Coppertone Pure and Simple Tear Free Spray SPF 50 has been a lifesaver for my family, especially with little ones who have sensitive skin. It goes on easily, doesn’t irritate their skin or eyes, and provides great sun protection. I love that it’s free of harsh chemicals but still really effective. I also picked up the sunscreen stick from the same line and it’s amazing for quick touch-ups, especially on the face, ears, and nose. It glides on smoothly without any mess, and it’s super handy to throw in the diaper bag or purse. Highly recommend both the spray and the stick — a must-have combo for summer!

Difficult to rub in; sweat and water resistant; difficult to wash off
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I've used this spray sunscreen off and on for the past two years and have now decided to only use it after a long and sweaty work out at the gym when I drive home. It is much easier to apply onto the skin on sweaty/wet/moist skin than on dry skin. It is difficult to apply and rub in on dry skin. One should carefully apply and use a finger to do so to minimize stretching the skin. The positive about this sunscreen is that it is sweat resistant and will not seep or run into your eyes. It is also water resistant; therefore, it is a good sunscreen to use if you are going swimming. However, this makes it difficult to wash off, even in the shower using a face wash or scrub. I would not recommend this sunscreen for daily use. If you are wearing sunscreen for the purposes of avoiding incidental sun exposure, such as driving to and from places, locally, for fewer than 20-30 minutes, or if you are going for brief walks outside, use a different sunscreen that is friendlier on the skin. I WOULD recommend this sunscreen to anyone that plans on spending prolonged periods of time out in the sun, including being exposed to direct sunlight. If you are planning a day out at the beach, or going out swimming, exercising outdoors for over 30 minutes, taking a long road trip, or planning to do any activity where you will be in direct sunlight, this is a good sunscreen to use. It will leave a white cast, however, I have confidence that it will provide the adequate protection against UVA-1, UVA-2 and UVB radiation to protect your skin.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great alternative to chemical sunscreen, spray is a little patchy and leaves a heavy white residue but that is to be expected. Works well and prevents sunburn so it's a win.
