Ideal Plantation Locations

Karonda thrives in warm climates with ample sunlight. It prefers well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. Suitable regions include tropical and subtropical areas.

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 mixing in well-rotted compost or organic manure to improve drainage and fertility.

4. Spacing: Maintain a spacing of 6-8 feet between plants to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Watering

Water regularly, especially during the initial establishment phase and in dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilizers

Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer (like 10-10-10) once a month during the growing season. Use organic fertilizers like compost tea or bone meal for a more natural approach.
