Care Instructions for Your Keteki Longan

Light Requirements

The Keteki Longan plant thrives in Full Sun. It requires a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure vigorous growth, prolific flowering, and optimal fruit development. Adequate sunlight is crucial for the sweetness and size of the fruits.

Watering Schedule

Water your Keteki Longan plant Once every 3-5 days; allow top 2 inches of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Young plants and those in active fruiting require consistent moisture. While established trees can tolerate short periods of drought, regular watering promotes better fruit quality and yield. Avoid waterlogging.

Soil & Fertilization

Plant in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A rich, loamy soil amended with organic matter is ideal. Fertilize regularly during the active growing and fruiting seasons (spring to early autumn) with a balanced fertilizer, ensuring adequate phosphorus and potassium for fruit development. Always follow product guidelines.

Pruning & Maintenance

Prune your Keteki Longan tree to maintain a desirable shape, remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches, and encourage better air circulation and light penetration. Pruning after harvest helps stimulate new growth and prepares the tree for the next fruiting cycle. Protect young trees from strong winds and frost.
