care tips
The Buddha's hand tree thrives in the Mediterranean climate, but it's not the most hardy tree species. As a result, if you have it in a pot, you'll need to bring it indoors during the winter months when it freezes or gets very cold. From March to September, you'll need to water your tree regularly. It's also important to note that citrus trees require regular fertilization with both macro and micro nutrients.
The Citrus Medica Sarcodactylis is prone to deficiencies, particularly in magnesium and zinc. To keep it healthy, it's essential to provide regular watering. The soil should be consistently moist, but not waterlogged. During the summer months, water the plant daily, while in less hot periods, watering it twice a week is sufficient. Additionally, we recommend pruning the plant once a year in February to maintain its overall health and appearance.
