Plant Care Guide

Sunlight

• Tolerates heat and dry conditions well
• Requires a dry period for better flowering and fruiting

Watering

• Water regularly during early growth (2–3 times per week)
• Mature plants require moderate watering
• Reduce watering during flowering to improve fruit set
• Avoid overwatering to prevent root diseases

Fertilizers

• Apply organic compost or farmyard manure every 1–2 months
• Use balanced NPK fertilizer during growth phase
• Increase potassium for better fruit size, color, and taste
• Add micronutrients like zinc and iron if deficiency appears

Re-potting Instructions

• Use a container of at least 16–20 inches depth and width
• Ensure proper drainage holes
• Re-pot every 2–3 years or when root-bound
• Replace topsoil annually with compost-rich mix
• Prune roots lightly during re-potting if necessary

Fruiting Season

• Hybrid plants may start fruiting within 2–3 years
• Can produce fruits once or twice a year depending on climate
• Common fruiting seasons: monsoon and winter

Usage Ideas

• Eat fresh arils as a healthy snack
• Use in juices, salads, and desserts
• Add to smoothies and beverages
• Used in garnishing and culinary dishes
• Popular in health drinks and natural remedies

Care Tips

• Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage new fruiting branches
• Remove suckers and weak growth for better productivity
• Mulch around base to retain moisture and control weeds
• Protect fruits from cracking by maintaining consistent watering
• Monitor pests like aphids, whiteflies, and fruit borers; use neem oil
• Ensure proper spacing (4–5 meters apart) if planting in ground.
