Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

The Matoa tree prefers tropical to subtropical conditions and is known for its adaptability to different light exposures.

• Sunlight: Prefers a location with partial shade to full sun. Providing shade during the hottest part of the day can be beneficial for young plants.
• Climate: Thrives in warm, humid environments.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. A rich, organic loam mixture is ideal.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the dry season and for container-grown plants. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the main growing seasons.

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.
