Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

As a citrus variety, the Dekopon Orange plant requires plenty of sun exposure to produce sweet, high-quality fruit.

• Sunlight: Requires full, direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth and flowering.
• Climate: Well-suited to warm climates.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, rich soil. Citrus plants thrive in soil that is slightly acidic to neutral.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.
• Fertilization: Use a fertilizer specifically formulated for citrus plants during the growing and fruiting seasons to maintain health and yield.
