I'm new to growing plants. I'm mainly in this for cooking as that is my main hobby (and the herbs I'm growing seem to liven up my place a bit). I make a lot of Asian & Indian food and I want to grow a small Kaffir Lime tree in my apartment. There is not a lot of light and it gets really hot in here in the summer time. So, I'm asking those of you that know best, is a Kaffir Lime tree going to survive in my apartment? From what I've read, they're pretty sensitive. Does anyone know the lowest temperature they can survive in? (I might suggest my Mom grow one in her greenhouse. She doesn't keep it very warm in the winter) Also, does anyone know where I can get one? Most of the grocery stores I frequent only have the leaves and not the actual fruit I can take seeds from. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me :)
