- Sunlight and Temperature: Lychee plants thrive in warm, humid conditions with at least six hours of full sun exposure daily. Provide partial shade during intense summer heat to prevent leaf scorching.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, avoiding overwatering.
- Fertilization: Feed plants with a balanced fertilizer every two months during the growing season or use a slow-release fertilizer.
- Pruning and Training: Regularly prune for shape and health. Prune in late winter or early spring, using stakes or trellises for support if needed.
- Pest and Disease Management: Be vigilant about pests like aphids, scale insects, and lychee stink bugs, as well as diseases such as anthracnose and powdery mildew. Use organic insecticides and fungicides as needed, ensuring good air circulation.
