Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

This grafted Pomelo is suitable for cultivation in both garden soil and large pots across most Indian climates.

Sunlight Needs

• Light: The Pomelo tree is a sun-loving plant that requires full sun, meaning a location that receives a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as loamy or sandy varieties, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). Heavy clay should be avoided or amended for drainage.
• Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during the active growing and fruiting seasons. Ensure the soil is allowed to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogging.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer formulated for citrus trees multiple times during the growing season (typically early spring to mid-summer) to support healthy foliage and fruit development.

The secure paper core packing method used for shipping ensures the plant is protected and well-ventilated during transit.
