How to Select Healthy Mexican Orange？

To select a healthy mexican orange, inspect its leaves for a vibrant, rich green color without yellowing or browning. Check the plant for signs of pests or diseases, ensuring there are no visible insects or damage. The plant should appear full and compact rather than leggy or sparse. A healthy mexican orange will also have firm, undamaged stems and a strong, upright growth habit. Avoid plants with wilted leaves or signs of stress. Make sure the soil is moist but well-draining, not waterlogged.
