Planting And Care

Sunlight

• More than 6 hours of sunlight or 3-6 hours of sunlight with natural bright light for rest of the day.

Soil

• The soil should be well-drained and fertile, rich in organic content.

Watering

• Poke your finger/plain small stick into the soil to check the moisture.
• Apply 4 cups (Approx. 200 ml) of water when the topsoil (1-2 inches) in the pot feels dry to touch.
• Apply water probably morning or evening time.
• Do not overwater the plant.
• As a rule of thumb, water the plant thoroughly in the summer and reduce watering in the winter and rainy seasons.

Application of Fertilizer

• Before the application of fertilizer loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots of the plant so it can uptake the nutrients and moisture.
• During the main growing season feed the plant with organic fertilizer once a month.
• Apply water immediately after the application of fertilizer.

Plant Protection

• Remove dead, infected, or damaged plant parts and discard them away from the plants.
• For any insect attack or disease, you can use Neem oil, Eucalyptus oil, or Citrus oil spray for primary treatment.

Donts

• Do not overwater the plant especially when the pot does not have drainage holes.
• Avoid applying water on flowers and leaves it may cause fungus infection.
