Clementine Mandarin Orange

Clementine Mandarin Orange Citrus Reticulata 'clementine'

What is the plant

Clementines (also known as Mandarin oranges, Satsuma oranges or tangerines) produce small, thin-skinned fruit with a wonderful sweet flavor. Most often eaten freshly peeled, the small slices are very popular for adding to lettuce, gelatin, or mixed fruit salads. Mandarin trees are smaller than standard orange trees and are ideal for small space gardens or containers. The attractive glossy foliage adds a tropical feel to any setting.

Water
The average orange tree responds greatly to any water supply. Many researchers have reported that lemons and oranges generally increase by 50% faster, when the ground is wet than when it is dry. It is also reported that the growth of a fruit at temperatures above 100 °f (37 °c), was twice each day in wetter soils than what it was in dry soils.
Sunlight
Light is an essential factor in maintaining plants. The rate of growth and length of time a plant remains active is dependent on the amount of light it receives. Light energy is used in photosynthesis, the plant's most basic metabolic process.
Fertilizer
Simply apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, extending to the drip line. For vegetables, place the fertilizer in a strip parallel to the planting row. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting but must be applied more frequently. This method gives plants food while you water.
