Is It Possible To Grow Tropical Fruit Plants Indoors In The Canadian Winter?

Posted by admin on July 13, 2010

I have currently grown two orange/tangerine seeds in a 6″ pot into small sprouts about 2″, but it’s been about 2 months and they have basically stopped growing (but they are still alive and look healthy.) What can I do to get them more light and warmth even though it’s winter? Will regular lights work as well as sunlight for photosynthesis or is it the wrong wavelength? I don’t want to buy any specialized lamps or bulbs for them.
What should I do to keep them warm? Will keeping them in an airtight container help keep heat in? Should I blow in it to add moisture and CO2?
I am also planning on growing a mango pit that I got out of a mango from the grocery store, but I think I will wait for spring. Any tips for that too?
Mainly I just want to know if it’s possible to have warm-climate plants thrive in a house at 20 degrees C, or should I basically just rip them out and wait until spring?
When the oranges came up they had 2 shoots and I cut one off… is that y they stop growin

Yes but you have to mix soil and crap. The indians used to put dead fish where their crops were to help it grow, so maybe the crap will do that.

Actually we just moved from Rapid City and I managed it. Also had really good dirt and lots of sunny windows. The tomatoes didn’t get as big as outside but they were good. Also grew a few carrots believe it or not. Got a deep welled pot so the carrots could expand and grow and the vegetation (green part on top of soil) was really pretty as a house plant. Looked like a fern. Way cool. But one must remember to get a big enough pot for expansion of the roots so it thinks it is in a garden. Good luck. Have fun. Your friends will be amazed. Also to point, mixed miracle grow in large container and did the “continuous feed” thing. Whereas, they get “fed” on a continuous basis but not overly much to burn them.
