Amazing aroma and the distinctive taste of mandarins make them one of the most popular citrus fruits.
Besides their excellent taste, mandarins also offer a number of health benefits.
For example, they strengthen your immune system, reduce inflammation, support lung function and much more.
Yet few people know that they can easily be grown at home in a pot in our climate zone.
In this article we will reveal everything important you need to know to grow mandarins at home yourself.
Procedure
You will need a medium-sized pot with holes in the bottom for proper drainage and water flow.
Use quality organic soil for planting. You can put a little sand at the bottom of the pot for better aeration.
In the next step plant the mandarin seeds, cover them well with soil, but do not press them firmly into it.
Then place the pot in a warm and sunny spot in your home.
Care
It is advisable to occasionally add fertilizer rich in magnesium, zinc and iron to the soil.
When the soil has dried to a depth of about 2 to 3 cm, water it. Also remember to remove wilted and broken twigs.
Be careful when harvesting the fruits so as not to damage the branches while picking.
And now just enjoy your own mandarins, free from pesticide sprays.
Preferably avoid store-bought produce that has been sprayed with dangerous chemicals.
