Bauhinia Alba

Care And Nurture

• Easy to grow even in pot/direct soil wherever direct sunlight is available. Soon after planting, plants should be supported with a bamboo stick and irrigated thoroughly.
• While planting care should be taken to see that the bud joint should always be above the ground level.
• Temperature ranging from 15-35℃ is suitable for the cultivation of the crop.
• The bearing trees require little or no pruning. All diseased, injured, and drooping branches and deadwood are to be removed periodically.
• Citrus Variety requires consistent watering to produce healthy fruits. Giving it too much or too little water can lead to blossom and fruit drop and sometimes plant may die too.
• Check the top 2-inch layer of soil for dryness before watering. On windy and hot days, it requires more frequent watering.
• Micro-nutrients (zinc, copper, manganese, iron, boron, and molybdenum) are required in ample quantities. It should be supplied through the foliar spray.
• The application of organic mulch surrounding the basin improves the fruit quality and maintains a moist environment.
• Fruit drop in citrus can be controlled in the early stages of fruit development by applying two sprays of growth regulators- 2,4 D (15 ppm.) or GA3 (15 ppm) along with Benomyl (1000 ppm.) and urea (1%) at the time of flowering and after the fruit set.
• Never prune the plants during monsoon and wet climates.
