Plant Care Guide

Light

Requires full sun for healthy growth, flowering, and abundant fruit production. Provide at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Watering

Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering while avoiding drought stress.

Soil

Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with good organic content. Slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal.

Temperature

Grows best in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. It tolerates mild cold better than many citrus varieties but should be protected from severe frost.

Fertilizing

Feed with a citrus fertilizer several times during the growing season to support healthy foliage, flowering, and fruit production.

Pruning

Prune lightly to maintain shape, remove dead branches, and improve airflow through the canopy.
