Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Litchi trees thrive in warm, subtropical climates with ample sunlight. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Suitable regions include USDA hardiness zones 9-11.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by tilling it to a depth of 12-18 inches and incorporating organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure.
3. Planting: Plant the seedling at the same depth it was growing in the nursery container.
4. Spacing: Allow 20-30 feet between trees for optimal growth and fruit production.

Watering

Water the seedling deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the tree during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Follow the fertilizer instructions on the package.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot young seedlings annually into larger containers. For established trees, repotting is generally not necessary unless the roots are severely pot-bound.

Fruiting Season

Litchi trees typically begin fruiting 3-5 years after planting. The fruiting season varies depending on the cultivar and climate, but generally occurs during late spring or early summer.

Usage Ideas

• Home Garden: Grow litchi trees in your backyard for fresh fruit enjoyment.
• Ornamental Plant: Add a touch of tropical beauty to your landscape.

Care Tips

• Pest Control: Monitor for pests like scale insects and aphids, and treat as needed.
• Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove any dead or crossing branches.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
