Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

The Dorsett Golden is adapted to warm conditions, but still requires adequate sunlight.

• Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) for optimal growth and fruit production.
• Air Circulation: Ensure the plant is in a location with good air movement.

Watering and Soil

Proper soil and watering are essential, especially for potted plants.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top soil to dry slightly between watering sessions, adjusting frequency based on climate and season.

The secure paper core packing method used for shipping plants helps in ventilating the plant during transit, ensuring you receive a healthy plant.
