About the Product

The Bush Orange – Variegated (Citrus reticulata ‘Variegata’) is a compact ornamental citrus plant valued for its striking green-and-cream variegated foliage and small decorative orange fruits, making it ideal for balconies, terraces, and landscape accents. In tropical regions like Kerala, it thrives exceptionally well due to the warm temperatures and high humidity. The plant prefers bright sunlight (at least 4–6 hours daily) to maintain its variegation and support fruiting, along with well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering is essential, but the soil should not remain waterlogged, especially during monsoon seasons. With occasional pruning and monthly feeding using a balanced fertilizer, this plant maintains a healthy, bushy shape and consistent growth, making it both an aesthetic and functional addition to home gardens in Kerala’s climate.
