Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Climate Needs
These tropical plants require warmth and high light levels to produce fruit successfully.
- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth and fruit production.
- Air Circulation: Place the plant in a location that ensures good air movement to prevent common diseases.
Watering and Soil
Consistent moisture is key for these shallow-rooted, tropical fruit trees.
- Soil: Use a rich, well-draining soil mix. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH is preferred.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and regularly. The soil should be kept consistently moist, especially during the flowering and fruiting periods, but avoid standing water or waterlogging the roots.
The plants are shipped using a secure paper core packing method, which aids in protecting and ventilating the plants during transit, ensuring they arrive healthy and ready for planting.
