• Foliage: Features lush green foliage and produces fragrant white flowers.

Sunlight and Water Requirements

Essential Care Tips

• Soil: Plant in a rich, well-draining soil mix. A slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0) is ideal for citrus plants.
• Potting: Excellent for growing in large containers on balconies or terraces, or directly in the ground.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced citrus fertilizer or organic manure during the main growing seasons (pre-spring and pre-monsoon) to encourage flowering and fruiting.
