Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires a location that receives full, direct sunlight (at least 6 hours per day) for optimal growth and fruit production, although it can tolerate partial sun.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. The Karonda plant is quite adaptable to different soil compositions.
• Watering: Water regularly, allowing the topsoil to dry out completely between watering sessions. While the mature plant is drought tolerant, consistent moisture is necessary for better fruit yield.

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