Hi folks!

I've got this calamondin. I'm not sure what to do with it, and I'm open to ideas.

Anybody want to share IMG_20180330_110059.jpgIMG_20180330_110055.jpgIMG_20180330_110050.jpgtheir small change?
 
I just keep mine as a patio plant. To see the flowers and the little oranges.

I agree with @Carol 83 . We have had one on our deck for years, they look great in flower or in fruit, which can happen year-round here. All we do is haul it inside if there's a hard freeze.
Of course, there was the one time my lawn mower (Kyle) saw a couple of fruits that had fallen off the tree and tried one. His mouth was puckered for the rest of the day.
But with enough sugar and some pectin you can make the best bitter marmalade ever. I do it a couple of times a year, even when we have a real freeze or two over the winter.
 
You're all cuties. <3

I'm thinking along the lines of developing it into a bonsai rather than a perfectly cheerful but structureless little plant.
