Growing tangerines at home is a great option for those who have a passion for gardening or want to make sure they are eating fruit without pesticides or chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Few people know that it is possible to grow tangerines at home, despite limited space. In any case, it must be taken into account that the height of the mandarin tree can reach two meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to being aesthetically beautiful, the mandarin gives off a very pleasant aroma. The fruits are rich in vitamins C and B, but also in carotene and citric acid. Below we explain how to grow tangerines in pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing we must do is take some mandarin seeds and wash them well to remove any remains of pulp from the fruit. It is suggested to collect the seeds from a completely ripe fruit. Dry the seeds well with absorbent paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pot should be approximately 30 centimeters high, and the soil should be of good quality, that is, rich in macro and micronutrients. Plant the seeds about 3 centimeters deep and then lightly moisten the soil. The plant will take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to germinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the pot in a sunny corner of the house. Although it is a tree that resists the cold well, it needs a lot of sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mandarin plant needs large amounts of water. Remember to also provide good drainage to the plant. During the first weeks, water about 3 times a week, after which you should do so whenever the soil feels dry to the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mandarin tree can bear its first fruits after a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
