I have a kaffir lime plant that was rooted from cutting, for trade. I am interested in tropical, fragnant flowers, fruits and rare philodendrons in general.I am looking for Michelia champaca and Nyctanthes arbor tristis (AKA coral jasmine, night blooming jasmine, NOT cereus,lovers tree, sorrow tree etc)in particular. Shoot me an email with your have lists or tempt me! Sorry, no seeds or SASE. Thanks

I am looking for this plant,I didn't know the name of it til I saw the picture of it on google as i was looking at thai couisine ingredients and realize it was Kaffir lime leaves that I would use for my soup.So if anybody have any seeds or cuttings of the plant lease email me.I am also looking for some lychee and longan seeds or plants.

Thanks Brezyb, I am feeling much better about my kaffir lime! Except for the spiraling roots and trunk it seems to be okay. I repotted it a few weeks ago, and the roots werent very tangled or anything, just growing in a circle. If I had known to do so, I could have easily untangled them then. It otherwise seems pretty healthy, not losing leaves or anything. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I harvested some of the leaves to make Tom Yung Goong, and they were fully fragrant, and flavorful! I had tried to make this before without them and now know that regular lime juice or peel are no substitute for the kaffir lime leaves. Thats why I am so desperate to save it. Tom Yung Goong is my favorite Thai dish! I just went outside and checked it really closely and there do seem to be some teeny tiny leaves forming! They are right at the graft line so I will probably have to cut them off, but new growth is new growth right? So I will take it out of the pot and untangle the roots and keep my fingers crossed. While I am at it, any suggestions/recommendations for soil mix/ammendments? I just used generic potting soil from Home Depot, and I am wondering if there is a better mix for it. Thanks for your help! Lydia PS. Any hope of it growing fruit some day?

Kaffir limes are one of the least cold hardy citruses. Unless you have protection from freezing and below freezing temperature to keep them warm above freezing temperature, they will not survive. It's leaves get damaged already when air temp are at 3 deg C if not gradually hardened off. It easily gets defoliated entirely in our zone every winter, and these are protected under the eaves of the roof overhangs with a west wall that serve as heat supply at night. Key limes are more cold hardy than Kaffir limes based on my own growing conditions here.
