Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth and fruiting, but can tolerate partial shade.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in rich, deep, and well-draining soil. The plant is adaptable to various soil types.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during the dry season and when the plant is young. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced organic or fruit-specific fertilizer during the main growing seasons (Spring/Monsoon) to encourage healthy foliage and fruit production.

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