About the Product
The Mosambi Plant, also called Sathukudi in South India, is one of the best citrus plants to grow at home for daily nutrition. Its fruits are round to oval, with a light green to yellow skin and sweet, mildly tangy juice that is extremely refreshing — especially during summer.
Mosambi is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants & electrolytes, making it excellent for immunity, digestion, and hydration. With full sunlight and regular watering, the plant begins fruiting in 2–3 years and continues to produce abundant seasonal harvests for many years.
Ideal for those wanting a constant supply of fresh, chemical-free juice from their own garden!
