Planting and Care
Plant Amla in full sun with well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Water young plants regularly, but reduce frequency once established, as the tree is drought-tolerant. Fertilize with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer once a year. Prune lightly to promote air circulation and remove any diseased branches. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and prevent weeds.
