The Mexican lime is usually propagated by seed because most seeds are polyembryonic and reproduce faithfully to the parent. In some areas, root sprouts from mature trees are taken up and transplanted into groves. Sprouting may be encouraged by digging around the parent tree to sever the roots wholly or partly. Cuttings of mature wood may ... serve for propagation but usually do not develop strong root systems. Selected clones have been budded onto rough lemon or sour orange. The latter is said to provide more resistance to hurricanes.

Some Mexican border cities such as Tijuana, Nogalas, and Juarez can be dangerous for someone who is unaware, especially at night. Most crime in the northern border cities is related to the drug trade and/or police corruption. Kidnapping for ransom is ... quite common in these cities. In contrast, Mexican northern non-border cities are very safe; such as Monterrey, Saltillo, Chihuahua, etc.

The Mexican lime is more sensitive to cold than the lemon, and can be grown only in protected locations in California. It thrives in a warm, moist climate with annual rainfall between 80 and 150 in (203-381 mm). Nevertheless, it tolerates drought better than any other citrus fruit. When there is excessive rainfall, the tree is subject to fungus diseases.
