Citrus trees are terrific for sunrooms. The glossy foliage looks great year round, and the scent of the blossoms can fill a room.

Citrus can be grown from seeds, but it will take several years to get fruit, and the overall results may be disappointing. For better results, buy healthy plants that have been grafted onto special rootstocks. Before you invest in a citrus tree, make sure you have a place in your home where the plant will be happy. It needs a long day of sun and good air circulation. Placing the tree near a heating vent will cause the leaves to dry out and drop. In warm climates, place the tree on a rolling platform so that it can be left outdoors most of the time, bringing it indoors only when frost threatens.
