Variegated Honeybell Tree

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Select a location with well-draining soil and ample sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just deep enough to accommodate the roots without crowding. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and place it in the hole, backfilling gently with soil. Water well after planting to help settle the soil around the roots.

2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells or if the tree is in a container. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. It’s best to water early in the morning or late in the afternoon to reduce evaporation.

3. Pruning: Pruning is not necessary for the Variegated Honeybell but can be done to maintain shape and remove any dead or weakened branches. It’s advisable to prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. This helps encourage healthy growth and fruit production. Be careful to follow package instructions for the right amount to use based on the size of your tree.
