Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

Like most citrus, the Cara Cara Orange tree requires optimal light and warmth to thrive and produce flavorful fruit.

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight, needing a minimum of 6–8 hours of sun exposure daily for best growth and fruit color development.
• Climate: Performs best in warm, temperate to subtropical regions and must be protected from frost.

Watering and Soil

Consistent care regarding watering and soil is essential, especially for container-grown plants.

• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, ideally a sandy loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Excellent drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry completely between waterings, increasing frequency in hot weather.

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