Water well and keep in a shaded place the first weeks, no frost. Until they start to really perk up, start moving them into partial shade and when they seem adapted to that and you have some real growth go for it. Water from the bottom or sparsely.
But more important then the times i mention between the moving is follow your own feeling. Look at the plants, which ones are ready, which ones have to stay more protected.. Same with watering.
I prefer that the plant knows it's a tough world out there and prefer to kind of give the idea to create more roots. It's a balancing act between, they need foliage to get energy from the sun to grow roots, but if they're in water all the time they "think" they can get away with putting all energy in making foliage. Then when they move into full sun/lamps they might die. That's why some people use misters, which keep the foliage moist too, so no water evaporates, but some time they will have to start making roots.
I like it when the whole of the pot fills up with roots between transplanting. Others put them into place immediately, but i figure that can only be done if you have loads and or keep a super watchfull eye.
Whats really nice and amazing for me is that I can get a response from someone in France.
Ill most likely be well dead and decomposed before I see any fruit but its worth noting that there is an orange tree that grows in the back yard of a property owner not to far away from my property in Dunnellon Fl. This tree stands about 20' tall and is covered with oranges year after year, literally hundreds.
The oranges are not great to taste out of hand but when I squeeze them into a glass the juice is amazing in taste.
This tree sees freezing temps years after year, Ive not been working the property long but I have seen temps down in the lows 20s and I am told it can get down in the teens and stay there for a long time.
These are the seeds from that tree and I have read that seeds may not produce a tree with same characteristics but Id like to think it may and so Ive decided to try and make a tree.
Thanks again
