How to keep Citrus Cavaleriei.
Light
Die Ichang-Papeda kommt aus offenen Lebensräumen, etwa sonnigen Wiesen und Waldrändern, die viel Licht liefern. Sie gedeiht in voller Sonne, verträgt aber auch teilweise Sonne und passt sich verschiedenen Lichtverhältnissen gut an.
Temperature
Ichang papeda shows good tolerance to heat, coping with higher temperatures and wide temperature fluctuations. When it is hot, attention should be paid to watering and suitable shade should be provided to prevent sunburn. On the other hand, Ichang papeda is relatively sensitive to cold; although it can endure some chill, excessively cold conditions may cause frost damage.
Fertilizer
The Ichang papeda requires adequate nutrients to achieve optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring to promote new growth and flowering. Regular feeding keeps the plant healthy, helps it produce more delicious fruit, and prevents nutrient-deficiency issues like yellow leaves and poor fruit production.
