Description

citrus mitis calamondin-miniature orange tree Citrus × microcarpaCitrus microcarpa Calamondin Citrus microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady. The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice.

Citrus × microcarpa – Calamondin

Citrus × microcarpa, commonly known as calamondin or calamansi, is a compact evergreen citrus with glossy foliage, scented flowers and small orange fruit. Its branching crown stays manageable in a pot, while mature plants can carry flowers, green fruit and ripe fruit during the same season when light and watering remain steady.

The fruits are small, round and aromatic, with a thin orange peel and sharp acidic juice. Calamondin is both an ornamental potted tree and a culinary acid citrus, especially for seasoning, drinks, marinades and preserves when the plant has been grown and treated as an edible crop.

Calamondin orange fruit and dense crown

  • Growth habit: Compact evergreen citrus with glossy leaves and a naturally branching crown.
  • Flowers: White scented flowers followed by small round orange fruit.
  • Fruit: Sharp acidic juice and aromatic peel, with calamondin and calamansi both used as common names.
  • Fruit profile: Small orange fruit with sour aromatic pulp and thin peel.
  • Pot habit: Compact citrus for strong light, seasonal warmth and protected wintering above about 13°C.

Small orange fruit and dense branching

Citrus × microcarpa is an accepted hybrid citrus in the Rutaceae family involving kumquat and mandarin ancestry, commonly linked with Citrus japonica and Citrus reticulata. Older names include × Citrofortunella microcarpa, × Citrofortunella mitis and Citrus × mitis.

The plant forms slender woody shoots, oval glossy leaves and starry white flowers. Fruit ripens from green to orange and usually stays much smaller than a mandarin. The pulp is sour, so the fruit is mainly used for juice and flavour.

Calamondin container routine

  • Light: Give very bright light with direct sun where possible. Strong light improves flowering and fruiting.
  • Water: Water deeply once the upper part of the substrate has dried. Keep moisture more even during warm active growth, then water more carefully in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining citrus substrate with mineral particles. Calamondin roots need both moisture and air, especially in a container.
  • Wintering: Keep bright and protected above about 13°C. Mild winter temperatures need enough light and measured watering.
  • Feeding: Use citrus fertiliser from spring into autumn. Regular nutrition keeps foliage green and improves flower and fruit formation in a long-term pot.
  • Dry air: Heated dry air can increase spider mite pressure and leaf drop. A modest humidity lift plus regular foliage checks lowers winter pest pressure.
  • Flowering under cover: Flowers are self-fertile. Indoors, gently brushing open flowers can improve fruit set where insect activity is low.
  • Repotting: Repot when the pot is well rooted, moving up by one modest pot size. Oversized pots stay wet too long around citrus roots.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after fruiting or before strong spring growth. Remove shoots from below the graft point if they appear.

Calamondin foliage and crop checks

  • Leaf drop after moving: Check light, draughts, dry air and watering changes. Calamondin reacts quickly when moved from bright outdoor conditions into warmer, darker winter conditions.
  • Yellowing foliage: Inspect the rootball first. Cold wet substrate can damage roots, while pale new growth can point to nutrient shortage in an exhausted mix.
  • Flower drop: Low light, dry air, heat stress or irregular watering can interrupt fruit set. Stabilise the growing conditions before increasing fertiliser.
  • Small or shedding fruit: Young plants may reduce part of their crop naturally. Keep watering even and avoid swings between dry and saturated substrate.
  • Sticky stems or leaves: Look along stems and leaf backs. Remove scale, aphids or mealybug early because honeydew builds quickly on glossy citrus foliage.

Calamondin fruit peel, pets and name

Calamondin peel, leaves and stems contain aromatic oils and psoralens. Clear dropped fruit, loose leaves and cut stems where pets can reach them, and handle small thorns carefully during pruning or repotting.

The generic name Citrus is tied to Latin citron naming and the wider group of aromatic citrus plants. The hybrid sign in Citrus × microcarpa reflects its hybrid origin, while microcarpa means small-fruited. Calamansi is widely used in the Philippines for the fruit and juice.

Works Great, soothing
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the best sunscreen I’ve used. I’m fair and after some chemical peels needed extra protection. This sunscreen is soothing and works perfectly. Blocked me from any sun damage and I live in a very sunny location by the ocean.

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen is the best choice!
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m happy I decided on Coppertone Pure & Simple Zinc Oxide Sunscreen. The 6 ounce bottle is well worth the price as a little goes a long way. I always give the bottle a good shake before applying it. This was the first year I sought out all zinc oxide sunscreens. I wanted to avoid the bad ingredients in regular sunscreens I’ve used in the past. This is free of octinoxate & oxybenzone which are the 2 main bad ingredients in most sunscreens. This pure & simple sunscreen is free of PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) which is an ingredient you should avoid in the interest of protecting your overall well-being. It’s also parabens, dye & fragrance free. I like the 50 SPF. I did some research on what it’s a good SPF to look for. This is what I learned: “SPF50 will last 2 hours in the sun. It should protect you 50 times as long as your skin would be able to naturally protect itself. However, remember that the lower the SPF and longer the length of time since application, the less UVB rays will be filtered so a reapplication every two hours is highly recommended.” Another great feature this sunscreen has is the active ingredient of zinc oxide is at 24.08%. I didn’t know what that meant so again I researched it. This is what I learned: “It’s recommended looking for a sunscreen label for a zinc oxide concentration of 20-25% for best protection from UVA and UVB rays.” So thumbs up on everything this Coppertone Pure & Simple sunscreen offers. Be careful as it comes out a little watery quickly but it rubs nicely onto my skin & is absorbed immediately. There’s no residue or white cast look to it period. Yesterday I worked outside for 5 hours. I took a couple breaks & did reapply after 2 hours. I didn’t burn period. This sunscreen kept my skin safe. I also decided to apply it to my face because I had it handy with me outside & my face sunscreen was in the house. This was lightweight on my face & didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I feel it could easily be used as a facial sunscreen. So many positives I’ve found with this sunscreen! I most definitely recommend it!

Doesn’t wash off easily
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It protects from the sun BUT it does not wash off. You’ll need to use some exfoliant wash or sponge to get it off. And you run the risk of staying certain materials if it isn’t washed off all the way and you go to bed with damp skin or hair. My pillow case became rust stained but I just couldn’t get the sunscreen off. It absorbed decently for a mineral sunscreen though. No crazy odor. Careful on the face for those with sensitive skin. It made my face very hot and itchy but no rash.

Great mineral sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great mineral sunscreen, rubs in well, protects well during high UV times, doesn't sweat off, not strong smell. Used this for fist time on a 95% high humidifier day while walking around Pittsburgh between 11am-3pm. No burning at all. There is a film left but that's for almost all sunscreen, so not any difference with this one. Easy to rub in and may leave a slight white coat but not as noticeable as some other mineral products. I will buy this again and recommend.
