Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient burn.Trasplante
Repotting should be done every 2-3 years or when the tree outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage.
