Australia is considered the birthplace of the macadamia nut, which is why it is also called the Australian nut.
However, today it can be found in other states located in the South.
How does macadamia grow
Macadamia is a tree that in nature can grow up to 15 meters.
It grows in tropical climates and loves moisture and fertile soils.
The leaves of the tree are smooth and dense.
Macadamia blooms with small flowers, which are collected in clusters, white or cream-colored.
How to grow
Macadamia seeds and nuts are placed in warm water for a day.
After this, they are sown in a special mixture containing peat and perlite.
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is constantly moist, but not wet, since abundant moisture will lead to rotting, and its lack will slow down the growth of the plant.
How to water
Water only when the top layer of soil feels dry, ensuring even distribution of moisture.
To create a balanced wet-dry environment for your plants, allowing the soil to partially dry out before watering promotes healthy plant growth.
The soil gradually dries out from top to bottom.
