TIPS

Soil for Mandarin Orange

Mandarin Orange plants should be grown in fertilized potting mix. Make or buy a fertilized mix that consists of coco peat moss or coconut fiber (coir), vermiculite or perlite, compost, and other ingredients. A lightweight soil for Mandarin Orange needs to provide good drainage, hold moisture, and give roots room to grow.

Light Requirements

All plants depend on light for their survival and making sure your plants get the right amount of light is key to keeping them happy. For both indoor and outdoor containers, group plants with similar light requirements. Don't mix shade lovers with sun lovers in a single pot; one or both of them will be unhappy, depending on where you place the pot.
