Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight for best growth and fruiting (6-8 hours a day is recommended).
• Climate: Thrives in warm, sunny conditions typical of the Indian subcontinent.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. Citrus plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods and when the plant is establishing or fruiting. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between watering sessions to prevent root rot.
