Planting & Care

Plant your Nagami in a sunny location with well-draining soil, digging a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Water deeply after planting and mulch around the base for insulation. Water regularly but allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root issues. During growing seasons, apply a citrus-specific fertilizer to encourage blooming and fruiting. For container-grown trees, mist foliage daily or place on a pebble tray filled with water to maintain adequate humidity.
