Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

The Longan tree is a subtropical plant that requires adequate warmth and sun exposure to thrive and produce a good harvest.

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

Watering and Soil

Proper soil and watering practices are essential for the health of your grafted Longan plant.

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. A loamy soil mix enriched with organic matter is ideal.
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, especially during the fruit development stage. Allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer during the main growing seasons (spring and monsoon) to support healthy leaf and fruit development.

The secure paper core packing method used for shipping ensures the plant is protected and well-ventilated during transit, ensuring you receive a healthy, genuine variety plant.
