The fruit of the lime tree is so to eat and tastes deliciously fresh, this is good for mixed drinks, etc.
In the spring the lime may go out again, do this after there is certainly no chance of frost.
Now the water need may be increased again, but keep it moderate (not overdoing a lot).

Also give dried cow manure pellet fertilizer to the plant every 3-4 weeks from April to the end of September. This will immediately react and new shoots begin to grow.

Giving little water, once a month is enough. No more fertilization in winter.
