Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

The Red Lemon plant thrives in tropical and subtropical conditions with proper care.

Sunlight Needs

• Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full and direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily for optimal growth and fruiting.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in a well-draining, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-6.5) is suitable.
• Watering: Water regularly and thoroughly during the main growing season. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot and fruit drop.
• Fertilization: For best results and multiple fruiting cycles per year, use a balanced fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium during the growing season.

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