Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: The Phalsa plant thrives in hot and dry climates and requires full, direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth and high yields.
• Climate: It is highly adaptable to the tropical and subtropical conditions prevalent across India.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining soil. While adaptable, a slightly sandy loam soil is preferred.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply, particularly when the plant is establishing or during the peak flowering and fruiting season. Allow the soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot, as the plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established.

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