- Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Care for the Tree: As your Pomelo tree matures, ensure it gets enough sunlight, space, and water. Prune any damaged branches to encourage healthy growth.
- Harvesting: Pomelos are ready for harvest when the fruit has turned yellow and feels firm to the touch. Gently twist the fruit from the tree to avoid damaging the plant.
