Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

The Rambutan tree requires abundant sunlight and a consistently warm environment.

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth and high yield.
• Climate: Best suited for warm, humid, tropical conditions.

Watering and Soil

Proper soil and consistent moisture are essential for this tropical plant.

• Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained soil such as loamy or sandy loam with a slightly acidic pH (5.5 to 6.5). Avoid heavy clay soils prone to waterlogging.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but ensure it is never waterlogged. Regular, deep watering is crucial, especially during dry periods and the flowering/fruiting stages.
• Maintenance: Apply a balanced fertilizer regularly during the main growing seasons to support robust foliage and fruit development.

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.
