When it comes to watering a Ponceirus trifoliata 'Monstrosa', the amount of water required will depend on a few factors. The frequency of watering will need to be adjusted based on the temperature, humidity, and soil type. During the warmer months, these plants will need more water than in the winter. Generally speaking, your plant should be watered every 7-10 days in the summer, and every 14-20 days during the winter. The amount of water you should provide for your Ponceirus trifoliata 'Monstrosa' depends on the size of the pot and the soil type. A lightweight potting mix works best for this plant, as it will help to increase drainage. When watering, you will want to add enough water so that the soil is thoroughly saturated. Avoid over-watering, however, as too much water can cause root rot. This plant only requires a small amount of water and should not be watered excessively.

Hardy orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Monstrosa') is a plant species that needs at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. This species of plant does best under full sun where it will be exposed to the sun’s rays for most of the day. In areas with smaller amounts of sunlight, the plant should still receive a minimum of 6 hours a day, though more would be ideal. Morning sun is best for hardy oranges, but if it's not possible, afternoon sun is also acceptable. In areas with intense heat and direct sun, providing a little shade throughout the day will be beneficial as this will also help with decreasing the amount of water the plants needs.

Hardy orange (Poncirus trifoliata 'Monstrosa') should be pruned once a year after flowering has finished in the spring. Pruning should be focused on removing dead branches and branches that are thin and have few or no leaves. Prune the plant to maintain a desired shape or size, but avoid over-pruning, which may weaken the tree's ability to bear fruit. If desired, light pruning can also be performed in the fall to remove any fresh, light growth.
