1. Immediate Unboxing:
Carefully cut open the outer corrugated box and unwrap the taped root-ball plastic wrap. Do not disturb the soil around the taproots.

2. Rest in Shade:
Place the sapling in a cool, bright shade area (away from harsh direct afternoon sun) for 2 to 3 days to recover from transit shock.

3. Hydration:
Moisten the root zone lightly if the soil feels completely dry. Avoid waterlogging.

4. Repotting:
After 4-5 days, transfer the plant into a container with well-draining garden soil and organic compost, or plant it directly into your orchard field.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fruiting time of my plant? +

Every fruit plant varies in fruiting time depending on location, climate, and age. Generally, grafted and air-layered fruit plants start fruiting within 1–2 years of planting, whereas seed-grown plants can take 4–5 years. Check the specifications above for each plant's expected timeline.

Will plants be delivered with fruiting & flowering? +

The majority of live saplings are delivered in vegetative growth stages without active fruit to ensure safe transit without stress. Occasionally, citrus or guava varieties may carry blossoms. If blooms arrive, removing early flowers helps redirect vital energy into healthy root establishment.

Define grafting, air layering & stem cutting? +

Grafting: Joining vegetative scion wood from a mature mother tree to a hardy rootstock (common in exotic mangoes).
Air Layering: Inducing roots directly on a mature parent branch before detaching (common in litchi and guava).
Stem Cutting: Rooting healthy vegetative nodal stems for identical clones.

What is the transplanting procedure upon delivery? +

Keep the sapling in shaded light for 48 hours and water lightly. When repotting, cut the polybag carefully without disturbing or breaking the root ball. Place into a 12–16 inch container or a prepared 1.5×1.5 ft ground pit, firm the surrounding soil mix, and water thoroughly until it drains out.

Preferable soil mix suitable for fruit plants? +

Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich blend: 50% red garden soil + 30% decomposed cow manure or vermicompost + 20% coarse sand or cocopeat. Good aeration prevents root rot while retaining sufficient moisture.

What kind of fertilizers & care are needed? +

Feed with organic compost, neem cake, and bone meal every 60–90 days around the drip line. Avoid chemical fertilizers during the first month of unboxing while root hairs acclimate. Regular pruning of dry tips helps encourage healthy branch spread.

What pots are best for terrace fruit growing? +

Durable UV-treated HDPE grow bags (15×15 or 18×18 inches) or lightweight plastic pots with drilled drainage holes work best for terrace loads and easy repositioning.
