Growing Information
Light Requirements
- Longan trees thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Full sun for 4-6 hours per day is ideal, but they can tolerate partial shade.
- In indoor environments, place the tree near a south-facing window to ensure it receives adequate light.
Soil Preferences
- Prefers well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (between 5.5 and 7.0).
- Ensure the potting mix is light and fluffy to provide good aeration to the roots, and add organic matter for improved growth.
Planting Tips
- Seed Preparation: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to help soften the seed coat and improve germination.
- Planting Depth: Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep in a well-drained seed-starting mix.
- Container Gardening: The dwarf longan tree is perfect for container gardening. Choose a pot that is at least 8-10 inches in diameter to allow for root expansion.
Watering Tips
- Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. Ensure that the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging.
- Longan trees prefer slightly drier conditions than other tropical plants, so allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
- During the growing season, water regularly, but reduce watering during the dormant winter months.
