Last summer, I decided to try my luck with an Australian finger lime tree. I’d heard they were tricky, but I was obsessed with the idea of those tiny citrus pearls. Every morning, I checked the soil—finger limes hate soggy roots, so I made sure the pot drained super well. I even used a mix of cactus soil and compost to keep things airy. When the first fruit popped open, I was amazed by the little citrus caviar inside. I tossed them on tacos and salads, and they tasted unreal. I learned that finger limes love morning sun but need a little shade in the afternoon. It’s wild how much joy a single plant can bring. If you’re thinking about growing something unique, this is it. #gardening #fingerlime #citrus #backyardgarden #growyourown
