How to Care?

• The Nimboo plant needs at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for best growth.
• Choose the primary growing season (December-February) to fertilize your Nimboo plant with well-draining slow-releasing soil.
• Apply fertilizer every once a month and water the plant immediately after feeding them with fertilizer for easy uptake of nutrients.
• Always keep removing the dead and infected parts of the Nimboo plant and discard them to prevent fungal and bacterial growth.
• For best protection, apply neem oil or Eucalyptus Oil as a primary treatment against diseases.
• Always increase the watering frequency in summer and rainy seasons to avoid drying the soil thoroughly.
• Never water your Nimboo plant during the afternoon to avoid burning the roots. It is recommended to always water in the morning or evening.
• Make sure to loosen the topsoil before feeding them with fertilizer for easy absorption of nutrients and avoid disturbing the roots.
• For better fruit development, allow the plant to absorb the water completely before your next watering session to prevent root rotting.
• Keep your Nimboo plant in bright indirect sunlight for at least two weeks after receiving initial care.
• Avoid re-potting the plant for at least two weeks after receiving, and always choose to re-pot during the night.
• Keep pruning the Nimboo plant from time to time to allow new and easy growth of shoots.
• Do not apply water directly to the fruits as it may cause a fungal infection or falls in case of premature fruit.
