Red Pomelo, commonly known as Red Batabi, is a premium citrus variety known for its large fruit size, sweet-tangy red pulp, and refreshing aroma. The fruits are juicy, mildly sweet, and rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. This variety is admired for its heavy fruiting capacity, strong growth, and excellent adaptability to Indian climates. The plant grows steadily and can be kept compact with pruning, making it perfect for pots, terraces, balconies, and home gardens. Grafted plants ensure early fruiting, stronger root systems, and superior-quality fruits, suitable for beginners and experienced growers. To keep it thriving: Maintain temperature between 18°C to 35°C. Provide 5-7 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water 1-2 times a week, keeping soil slightly moist but not soggy. Use well-drained sandy loam or citrus potting mix enriched with compost or cow dung. Feed every 30-45 days with a citrus-friendly fertilizer to support big fruits. Prune lightly to shape the plant and maintain airflow. Apply neem oil monthly to prevent pests like aphids, leaf miners, and mites.
