Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Orange plants require ample sun exposure to thrive and produce fruit. Choose a location that receives full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth.
• Climate: Thrives best in tropical to sub-tropical climates and adapts well to most Indian conditions.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, loamy soil. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral in pH.
• Watering: Water regularly and thoroughly. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
