Like the other citrus species, the tangerine needs a frost-free, but not too warm and bright winter location. It must be ensured that the plant stands in the sun every day for at least six hours. The temperatures are ideally between 10 and 12 ° C. Water rarely but regularly and check the plant for pests from time to time. Otherwise leave the tangerine at best at rest: do not turn, do not turn, do not repot, cut or fertilize.
