Rules to follow for proper citrus cultivation
To successfully start citrus cultivation, it is essential to pay attention to several key practices:

1. Soil preparation: In spring, it is advisable to loosen and lighten the soil by adding gravel and sand to improve drainage. Planting should be done in holes 30 cm deep, taking care not to damage the roots.
2. Irrigation and fertilization: During summer, increase the amount of water, while in winter, reduce it. Fertilization must be targeted and regular to ensure vigorous growth.
3. Pruning: Regularly remove dead or pest-infested branches to keep the plants healthy and promote abundant production.
