How to grow bergamot potted plants

1. Soil

Buddha's hand grows best in loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil. It can be prepared by mixing humus, river sand and peat soil in a ratio of 6:3:1. Adding a little cake fertilizer or bone meal as a base fertilizer will help its growth.

2. Lighting

Buddha's hand generally grows in places with sufficient light. You can place it in a sunny place and let it receive long-term sunlight. But it is afraid of strong light, so it needs proper shade in the summer to avoid water loss due to excessive exposure.

3. Watering

Buddha's hand likes a relatively humid environment. In addition to watering it in time, the air humidity must also be maintained at a high level. In summer, you need to water more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out. If the weather is dry, you can spray water on the leaves.

4. Fertilization

Buddha's hand is sensitive to fertilizer. Too much fertilizer can easily burn the roots, while too little can cause poor growth. Apply organic fertilizer once a month during the growing season to ensure healthy growth. Apply compost and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, during the young fruit stage and after fruit harvesting to promote flowering and fruiting.
