Self-Pollinating Fruit Trees For Home

Varieties of oranges good for indoors include dwarf Valencias and Mandarins. Other citrus plants to choose from include Meyer lemons, Kaffir limes, redblush grapefruit and dwarf Bearrs limes.

Honey Babe and Pix-Zee are genetic dwarf peaches ideal for indoors.

Best Indoor Fruit Trees

All varieties fruit more heavily if their roots are confined to a large pot, but Negro Largo does particularly well as a houseplant.

To ensure fruit, hand pollinate by transferring pollen from one flower to another with a paintbrush.

Raise The Humidity

Mist Plants

One of the simplest ways to bring at least a little humidity to the plant's surrounding environment is by misting its leaves with filtered or distilled water.

Huddle Your Plants

If you have enough plants in a corner of your house or room, that part of the room will often be a bit more humid, compliments of the plants.
