Grapefruit Care

We recommend frequent watering in the summer, but not allowing water to stagnate. In winter, water moderately. You have to water it once to three times per week right after planting. A mature plant needs a sip about once a week or when the soil looks dry.

In the spring, cut home grapefruits for formative or rejuvenating pruning.

Feed grapefruit twice a month with complex concentrated fertilizers.

Grapefruit is a very light-loving plant, however, like other types of citrus fruits, it is afraid of the scorching summer sun. To successfully grow it you must provide warm and sunny conditions both day and night. It's best to place your green pet next to a south-facing window.

Nutrient soil is best prepared from a mixture consisting of two parts of sod and one part of leafy soil, one part of humus, one part of peat, and one part of sand. pH should be between 5-6.5.

The easiest and most common way to propagate most grapefruit varieties is to grow fully ripened fruits from the seed.

During the rest period of rest from October to April, the suitable temperature for grapefruit trees should not be lower than 50°F (10°C) but not higher than 59 °F (15°C), in other periods up to 81°F (27 °C).

It is best to choose a pot of small size for planting a grapefruit seed. To begin with, you can choose a glass and make a hole at the bottom. Then gently place the plant with its root structure spread out evenly and fill the hole halfway with a potting mix.

Citrus × paradisi is rightfully considered the most “scandalous” fruit identity in the world, both because of its unusual, bitter-sweet taste and incredible benefits, while it is incompatible with many drugs.
