Mini tagar plant

Mini tagar plant

This mini plant bears small, white, scented flowers grown as an ornamental tree or hedge. It flowers throughout the year. Its leaves are glabrous and glossy. It has white bell-shaped flowers with an aromatic orange-like fragrance. 

The dark green leaves make a dramatic look for the highly fragrant cream-colored flowers. Mini tagar is closely related to Citrus and bears small orange to red fruit resembling kumquat. This shrub is usually propagated from seed.

The mini tagar is local to the Indian subcontinent and China. Although mostly found in the Eastern part of the nation, it is generally used in gardens as a supporting plant. A thick layer of lustrous green leaves allows the bush to be precisely pruned. It is even more spectacular when the bushes bloom half a month after pruning because they sprout on the new wood.

Care guide

Sunlight: Keep the mini tagar plant in place with bright direct sunlight for better growth of the plant.

Soil: Use a well-drained and fertile soil, rich in organic content.

Watering: Insert your finger/plain small stick into the soil to check the moisture. When topsoil (1-2 inches) feels dry to touch, water the plant. Water frequently in the summer and reduce watering in winter and rainy seasons.

Fertilizer: During the growing season, feed the mini tagar with organic fertilizer once a month. Loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots, this will help the plant uptake the nutrients and moisture easily.
