Growing & Care Tips:

1. Sunlight: The plant requires full sunlight to thrive, so it should be placed in a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Sunlight helps the plant grow and promotes fruit production.
2. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage. Water the plant regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
3. Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial for the healthy growth of the plant. A slightly acidic to neutral pH soil with good organic content will work best. Consider mixing garden soil with compost or well-rotted manure for better results.
4. Temperature: Sweet Bari 1 Mosambi prefers warm temperatures. It grows best in temperatures ranging from 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C). Protect the plant from frost, as cold temperatures can harm it.
5. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer with a higher proportion of potassium and phosphorus to encourage healthy fruit production. Apply fertilizer during the growing season, from spring through summer.
6. Pruning: Regular pruning will help the plant grow in a manageable shape and encourage the production of new shoots and fruit. Remove dead or damaged branches, and trim to shape.
7. Pests and Diseases: Common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and whiteflies can occasionally infest the plant. Keep an eye out for signs of pests and use natural pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
8. Harvesting: The fruits generally ripen in about 6 to 12 months, depending on growing conditions. They are ready for harvest when the skin turns a light yellow or greenish-yellow. The fruit will also feel slightly soft to the touch when ripe.
9. Potting: If you’re growing the plant in a pot, make sure to use a large enough container with proper drainage holes. You may need to repot it every couple of years as it grows.
