Pflegehinweise
The candlenut tree requires bright, direct sunlight and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently wet soil and should be watered regularly to maintain moisture. The tree grows best in moderate to high temperatures and high humidity. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and health.Ernte
Aleurites moluccanus, commonly known as the candlenut tree, is typically harvested for its nuts. The nuts are usually ready for harvest when they fall naturally from the tree, which generally occurs once a year. To harvest, collect the fallen nuts from the ground. It is important to ensure that the nuts are fully mature and have a hard shell. After collection, the nuts should be dried in the sun for several days to reduce moisture content before further processing or storage. The tree thrives in wet tropical climates and requires consistent moisture for optimal growth.Boden
Aleurites moluccanus prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree every few months during the growing season to support its growth and development. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the tree.Umtopfen
Repot young trees every 2-3 years to provide fresh soil and more space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting should be done in the early growing season.Vermehrung
