Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full sun exposure—a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal for robust growth and maximum fruit production. It may tolerate light shade but with reduced fruiting.
• Climate: As a tropical tree, it flourishes in warm and humid environments.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in a rich, fertile, and well-draining soil mix. The soil should be kept consistently moist.
• Watering: Water deeply and regularly, particularly during the dry season and when the plant is flowering or setting fruit. Do not allow the soil to become waterlogged, as this can harm the roots.
• Fertilization and Pruning: Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the main growing seasons is recommended. Pruning helps to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and encourage better fruiting.
