Growing Lychee in Pots: A Comprehensive Guide

Steps for Planting Lychee Seeds in Pots:

1. Seed Preparation: Start by soaking the lychee seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat, which aids in germination.
2. Potting: Use a well-draining potting mix in a seed tray or small pots. After soaking, plant the seeds in the soil, covering them lightly.
3. Germination: Maintain consistent soil moisture during germination, which can take 2 to 6 weeks. Avoid waterlogging.
4. Transplanting: Once the seedlings develop a few leaves, transplant them into larger pots with adequate drainage.
5. Sunlight and Temperature: Lychee plants thrive in warm, humid conditions with full sun exposure for at least six hours a day. Provide partial shade during intense summer heat to prevent leaf scorching.
6. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering.
