Mosambi Plants

• The Mosambi plant (Citrus limetta), commonly known as Sweet Lime, is a variety of lime that is known for its refreshing, sweet-tasting fruit. It is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions for its juicy, tangy fruit, which is enjoyed both fresh and as a juice. Mosambi belongs to the Rutaceae family and is closely related to other citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and limes.
• Mosambi is a medium-sized evergreen tree that can grow up to 5-7 meters tall. The tree has a dense canopy, offering good shade, and its branches often spread wide.
• Mosambi thrives in warm, subtropical to tropical climates, requiring temperatures between 15°C to 35°C. It is sensitive to frost and low temperatures, which can damage the fruit and tree.
• The plant prefers well-drained, sandy loam soils rich in organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH range 5.5 to 7.5) is ideal for healthy growth.
• The fruit typically takes about 6-9 months to ripen after flowering, depending on the climate and care.
• Regular watering is essential, especially in dry periods. However, avoid waterlogging around the roots.
• Mosambi plants are relatively easy to grow and maintain when provided with the right conditions. Their delicious, sweet fruit is highly sought after, particularly for juice production, and can be used in a variety of culinary applications. By following proper cultivation practices, farmers can ensure healthy, productive trees and achieve good yields, which contribute to the economic success of Mosambi farming.
