Tangerines, these small citrus fruits that fit in the palm of your hand, are known for their delicious and excellent taste. This food is a significant boost to our health because it contains vitamins, especially vitamin C. The good news is that you can grow her perfectly at home. That is, without harmful pesticides, but with very simple guidelines. Let’s go.

First of all, it would be useful to remember how valuable this food is in boosting our immune system and giving our body a real hydrating contribution. Let’s see together how to proceed to benefit from your own tangerine orchards.

The process of seedbed preparation

• It is possible to   use seeds that you have previously washed,   but you can also buy some. For the flowerpot, try     to find a medium-sized one with a drainage hole. (Do you also know that thanks to pots it  is possible to grow a large number of vegetables  )
• At the bottom of the pot, put some rocks and then some sand. This filling allows   better air circulation.
• Next, make your soil   rich in humus  . Consider components such as perlite, peat, or fertilizer.
• Water your soil and wait for it  to reach a reasonable moisture level. In any case, avoid waterlogging.
• Carefully plant a few seeds in your soil and then cover them with   potting soil  . A one inch amount would suffice.

• Place   a clear plastic sheet   over your pot to maintain humidity (you can also put the pot in a plastic bag). The germination process will only be faster.
• Make sure the jar  is in a warm place. So avoid sunlight, just put the pot in a place where the temperature is high enough.
• Add some water regularly. The goal is that the soil is never dry, but never soggy either  . Count about 20 days before noticing the first shoots.
• If you see these first signs, you can now remove the plastic wrap and then put the pot in a bright place. This is not the same as exposing it to the sun.
• The spring and harvest months come when you then  need to add compost to the plant three times a month. Prefer a liquid fertilizer that has a good concentration of zinc, magnesium and iron.

Here are the steps. Over time, you will see a tree that gradually grows. It becomes firmer and endowed with good foliage. In this case, you will need to   provide a larger container   to transfer it into.

You will continue to do the same as your tree grows in size and height. Of course,   you have to take into account that depending on its size, it needs a certain level of humidity  . In addition, if you live in a sufficiently warm environment, you can plant your tree right in your garden once the season arrives. Temperature is an important variant, as can be seen when growing strawberries.

For care   you should remove withered and damaged branches  . When you pick your ripe citrus fruits, do so with care. With a fair amount of willpower, you will be able to get beautiful and tasty tangerines while still    saving money .
