Citrus × microcarpa ‘Oriana’ — Calamondin

The smallest citrus you’ve seen — and you’ll want it 🌿

Pot diameter: 12 cm • Height: ~35 cm • Trellis-trained. Plant with fruit.

‘Oriana’ packs the full Mediterranean mood into a small footprint: an elegant low stem, glossy dense foliage, abundant flowering with white fragrant blooms and — in good conditions — small orange-yellow fruits that remain decorative for months. It is a beautiful choice for kitchen counters, sunny windowsills or protected balconies, wherever you want something living, aromatic and attractive without filling the space. A steady year-round presence, with a clean, tidy look and high decor value.

Origin of the cultivarclick to read

Species/Hybrid: Calamondin is a citrus hybrid, Citrus × microcarpa, known internationally for its ability to fruit in pots.

‘Oriana’: A cultivated selection from nursery programmes for compact crown, early/steady flowering and mini-stem architecture. The form is maintained clonally for consistency of characteristics.

Mini-stem production: The low stem is achieved with selected rootstock and guided pruning/training in the early stages, so the plant keeps a small final volume ideal for indoor spaces.

Distribution/Use: Popular in European nurseries for container gardening — Mediterranean style in small spaces.

1) Light: Very bright light; aim for 4–6 hours of sun per day.

2) Watering: Water when 30–40% of the mix has dried; empty the saucer afterwards.

3) Feeding: In spring and summer, apply citrus fertiliser every 3–4 weeks.
