About This Plant
Mosambi Variegata (Citrus limetta, Rutaceae family) is a striking citrus variety with variegated (two-tone) leaves and fruit. The fruit looks much like a greenish-hued lemon, about the size of a tennis ball, with a mild sweet flavour and the characteristic essence of lime — popularly used for fresh juice in India.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Direct sunlight; easy to grow in pots or direct soil wherever sun is available.
- Soil: pH between 5.5 and 6.5; apply lime if soil acidity is high.
- Climate: Tropical and subtropical humid regions; temperature range 15-35°C.
Planting & Spacing
Support young plants with a bamboo stick and irrigate thoroughly after planting. Keep the bud-joint above ground level.
Care
- Watering: Check the top 2-inch layer of soil for dryness before watering; needs more frequent watering in hot, windy weather.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 3 months; micronutrients (zinc, copper, manganese, iron, boron, molybdenum) via foliar spray.
- Pruning: Bearing trees need little to no pruning — only remove diseased, injured, or dead wood periodically. Avoid pruning during monsoon.
Fruiting & Harvest
Flowering typically occurs March-April, with fruiting starting 1.5-2 years after planting; major harvest months are July, September, November, and January.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region — we don't promise a fixed timeline. Citrus leaves and peel contain oils that can mildly irritate pets if chewed in quantity — the fruit itself is fine for humans.
