Care Card

Citrus Arcobal Orange

Indirect light

Adapts to any light level.

Water once a week and fortnightly in cold weather allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Water more frequently in brighter light conditions.

Any kind of humidity is fine, you can spray it every 2 weeks.

This plant can be toxic for your pet, so we advise you not to keep them together.

Suitable location: Plant your citrus trees in a place with good sun exposure and protected from strong wind.
Well-drained soil: Citrus trees prefer well-drained soil. Make sure that water does not accumulate around the roots.
Regular watering: Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Fertilisation: Provide adequate nutrients through fertilisation. A balanced citrus-specific fertiliser is a good choice.
Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or diseased branches. Avoid excessive pruning.
Pest control: Regularly inspect your trees for pests such as spider mites, aphids or beetles. Treat any infestations in a timely manner.
Frost protection: If you live in a frost-prone area, protect your trees during cold nights with covers or lights to prevent freeze damage.
Mulching: Mul ch around the base of the trees to conserve soil moisture and control weeds.
Harvest at the right time: Pick fruit when ripe for best flavour and quality.
Disease monitoring: Watch for signs of diseases such as fungi or viruses. Treat diseases preventively or as soon as they are detected.
Soil aeration: Ensure that the soil around the roots is well aerated. Avoid soil compaction.
Support in the early years: Young trees may need stakes or supports to keep them upright until they establish strong roots.

Leaf discolouration: Leaves may turn yellow or show abnormal discolouration, which may indicate nutritional deficiencies, disease or root problems.
Premature leaf drop: Early leaf drop may be a sign of water stress, disease or root system problems.
Leaf spots or deformities: Irregular leaf spots, deformities or necrosis may be due to fungal, bacterial or viral diseases.
Occurrence of pests: The presence of pests such as mites, aphids or beetles can affect the health of citrus trees.
Change in growth: Changes in growth pattern, such as lack of new shoots, may indicate root problems or nutritional deficiencies.
