Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

The Bhutani Chataki Orange thrives with moderate care in suitable conditions.

Sunlight Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6–8 hours a day) for vigorous growth and optimal fruit production.
• Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden or a bright, south-facing location if growing in a pot.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in a fertile, well-draining soil mix. A loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.5) is considered ideal.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out completely between waterings.
• Fertilization: Use a citrus-specific or balanced NPK fertilizer during the main growing seasons (spring/monsoon) to support healthy growth and fruit development.

The plant is shipped using a secure paper core packing method, which helps ventilate the plant during transit and ensures you receive a healthy, authentic variety plant.
