Sweet lime cultivation involves planting sweet lime trees in well-drained soil and providing regular watering and sunlight. Pruning is necessary for healthy growth. Harvest when ripe, usually during winter. Requires minimal care.
Sweet lime cultivation thrives in warm climates with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 35°C (68°F to 95°F). It requires plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity levels.
Prepare soil for sweet lime cultivation by ensuring it's well-drained, loamy, and rich in organic matter. Test soil pH and amend if necessary. Remove weeds and debris before planting.
Sweet lime propagation involves using seeds or grafting from healthy trees. Seeds are planted in well-prepared soil, while grafting involves attaching a bud from a desired tree onto a rootstock.
Plant sweet lime trees in spring or early summer when the soil is warm. This ensures optimal growth and establishment. Avoid planting during the rainy season to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Sweet lime cultivation requires regular irrigation, especially during dry periods, to maintain soil moisture levels. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Avoid waterlogging, as it can lead to root rot.
