How to Grow a Vertical Kaffir Lime

Vertical Kaffir lime plants are generally grown in Asian countries, not just for the fruit of the tree, but for the leaves as well. The leaves are used as an ingredient in Thai recipes, such as soups and fish-based dishes. If you wish to grow a Kaffir lime plant of your own, you only need to make sure the plant has enough sun and the right nutrients.
