📋 Quick Plant Specifications

🪴 Plant Care Guide

• ☀️ Light Requirements: Position in a location receiving at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily for maximum fruit yields.

• 💧 Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, the Enormity Loquat exhibits excellent drought tolerance. Allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
