. Tangerines, those small citrus fruits that fit in the palm of your hand, are known for their delicious and excellent taste. This fruit is a significant boost to our health, as it contains vitamins, especially vitamin C. The good news is that you can easily grow them yourself. That is, without harmful pesticides, but with very simple guidelines. Let's get started.
First, it's worth remembering how valuable this fruit is for strengthening our immune system and giving our body a real hydration boost. Let's see together how you can proceed to enjoy your own tangerine plantation.
The process of preparing
the seedbed: You can use seeds that you have already washed, but you can also buy them. For the flower pot, try to find a medium-sized pot with a drainage hole. (Also remember that it is possible to grow a variety of vegetables in pots.)
Place some stones in the bottom of the pot and then some sand. This filling allows for better air circulation.
Then enrich the soil with humus.
Components such as perlite, peat or fertilizer.
Water the soil and wait until it reaches the right moisture level. The recipe consists of 3 pages. You can see the rest of the recipe via the button below
Avoid waterlogging at all costs.
Carefully plant a few seeds in the soil and then cover them with potting soil. A few centimeters of soil should be enough.
Cover the pot with clear plastic wrap to retain moisture (you can also place the pot in a plastic bag). This will speed up the germination process.
Make sure the pot is in a warm place. Therefore, avoid direct sunlight.
Just move the pot to a place where the temperature is high enough.
Add a little water regularly. The recipe consists of 3 pages. You can access the rest of the recipe via the button below.

The goal is to keep the soil evenly moist, but never waterlogged. Expect to see the first shoots in about 20 days.
When you see these first signs of growth, you can remove the plastic wrap and place the pot in a bright spot. This is not the same as placing it in direct sunlight.
Spring and harvest time are coming, and you should then add compost to the plant three times a month. Choose a liquid fertilizer with a good concentration of zinc, magnesium and iron.
Here are the steps. Over time, you will see a tree that gradually grows. It will become more stable and develop good foliage. At this point, you will need to prepare a larger container for transplanting.
You will continue to do this as the tree grows in size and height. Of course, you must keep in mind that, depending on its size, it will need a certain amount of moisture. If you live in a fairly warm climate, you can also plant the tree directly in your garden as soon as the season arrives. Temperature is an important factor, as can be seen when growing strawberries.
For maintenance, you should remove any wilted or damaged branches. When harvesting ripe citrus fruits, do so with care. With a reasonable amount of willpower, you can grow beautiful and delicious tangerines while saving money.
