Growing and Care Instructions
-
Fertilizing
Feed several times per year with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to maintain vivid leaf color.
-
Watering
Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged; allow the top to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering from late fall through late winter. Sensitive to root rot - avoid standing water. Use rain or distilled water where possible, as the plant is sensitive to fluoride in tap water.
-
Light Requirements
Bright indirect light to partial shade; tolerates full sun (richer color) to dense shade. Filtered light gives the best foliage display.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending
I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.
The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.
I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.
Thank you so much!
