The lychee genus, often characterized by its fruit trees, requires a specific care regimen for healthy growth. It thrives best under full sun exposure with well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Expect to deal with common challenges, including fruit flies, aphids, and anthracnose disease. During hotter seasons, it may need increased watering and protection from extreme temperatures. In cold seasons, the lychee plants should be protected from frosts. Regular pruning, particularly in the spring, helps maintain productivity and prevent diseases.
