🌱 Growing conditions
⚠️ Common problems and solutions
- No blooms or sparse blooms: Lack of sun or unbalanced fertilization. Move to a brighter location.
- Yellow leaves: Overwatering, poor drainage, or iron deficiency. Check drainage and add chelated iron.
- Cold damage: Brown branches after frost. Prune out damaged parts in spring.
- Aphids: Check under the leaves. Treat with potassium soap or mineral oil.
- Leaves falling off: usually water stress (too much or too little) or a change in environment

Professional tip
The secret to maximum scent? Plant the Moriah near a sitting area, entrance to the house, or under the bedroom window - the nighttime scent will be an experience! Perfect hedge: Plant 50-80 cm apart to create a dense hedge. Prune 2-3 times a year for maximum density. Frost protection: In areas with frost, plant near a south or west wall that radiates heat, or grow in a pot that can be brought inside. Moriah is related to citrus and can be used as a trunk for assembly!
