Also protect your fruit tree from diseases and pests that ravage it. As an example, we cite mealybugs, which suck the sap of the tree and produce a sticky juice called honeydew. The latter attracts ants and fungi responsible for sooty mold, which is a cryptogamic disease. Other pests can attack your tree such as aphids or whiteflies.
Furthermore, if you want to transplant your shrub into the ground, wait until it is at least 30 cm high. This way, you will be sure that your mandarin tree is sufficiently robust for outdoor cultivation, especially since this fruit tree fears the cold. Indeed, if you have potted mandarin trees grown outdoors, it is recommended to keep them in a sheltered place in the garden. In winter, you can attach the winter veil under the rim of the pot.
