Growing an orange plant at home is not just a enjoyable and gratifying hobby; it also serves as a fantastic means of ensuring that you always have access to fresh, natural oranges right from your garden. We at Bagwani Nursery feel that growing your own orange tree is possible for everyone regardless of space restrictions or your knowledge level about the gardening. Let us dive into the vibrant universe of freshly squeezed home-grown orange fruits together!.
Let’s begin by discussing how to choose which type of oranges you want in your bucket. Though there are other types of oranges, but for beginners, we recommend starting with the dwarf kind as these plants are perfect for small spaces. These kinds are suitable for limited spaces such and can be grown in pots as well. Most common types comprise Calamondin orange among others such as Naval and Dwarf Valencia ones. At Bagwani Nursery, you will get all needed healthy ready-to-plant orange seedlings to start your home garden.
Sunlight: Orange plants love sunlight! Find a sunny spot in your garden or a bright spot in your home if you’re using a pot. Aim for at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to keep your plant happy and healthy.
Good soil is the foundation of a thriving orange plant. An orange tree requires well-draining fertile soil to grow properly. To make sure that your plant is getting enough nutrients, use well-draining soil mixed with compost. Also the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral, with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. If you are using pots, their bottoms must have enough openings for drainage purposes.
When digging a hole in the ground or a pot where you plan on planting, ensure that it is twice larger than the root ball of your orange plant. Place the sapling into the hole and then fill with soil around while pressing down slightly. Afterwards, water thoroughly so as to enable roots; they can make contact with their new environment easily through this way.
The orange plants demand continuous wetness. However, they dislike being soggy. Depending on the weather, you can water your plant deeply once or twice in a week. You should water more often during hot weather seasons.
Provide your orange plant suitable citrus fertilizer every 4-6 weeks when it is growing. This supports good growth as well as more fruits. Observe always what is recommended from the manufacturer’s manual for effective results.
Trimming enables keeping the plant’s form and encouraging the emergence of new plant organs. In this regard, cut down any limbs on your chili pepper trees that seem lifeless or infected by any form of disease-fighting agents such as fungi or bacteria. The aim is to create room for sun rays as well as atmospheric gases among all constituents of this type of tree.
Make sure to watch out for common pests on plants as aphids and spider mites and keep them away using neem oil or insecticidal soap because these are both eco-friendly methods.
The time that you have waited for is here! Your orange plants could start bearing fruit just two years after planting, depending on the type. For oranges to be harvested for example, they need to be fully colored and slightly soft when touched. Avoid causing harm to the plant by cutting or twisting fruits from the tree.
Happy Gardening
