My wee lychee: what does it need

11 years ago

I have a lychee sapling, that I grew from a grocery-store seed (I am poor.) It is a sad little thing, maybe a foot and a half high, with a single-digit number of actual leaves (and little tiny sad ones, too). It's currently in a maybe 5-gallon pot, in potting soil, sitting near where it will ultimately go in the ground.


It doesn't get a *lot* of sun, but it gets some, and there's nowhere I can meaningfully put it where it will get much more (well, I suppose for now I could stick it in the back yard, it'd get a bit more sun there, but during the winter that area gets *no* sun, and there's nowhere good to put it in the ground)


Do I need to fertilize it? If so, lightly or heavily? Should I move it into the ground now? If not, when? Any other advice?
