Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Cocoplums thrive in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates. They prefer well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Coastal regions with moderate humidity are particularly suitable.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with ample sunlight.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the planting hole by loosening the soil and adding well-rotted organic matter.
3. Planting: Gently place the air-layered plant in the hole, ensuring the roots are spread out. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
4. Spacing: Plant Cocoplums at a distance of 6 to 8 feet apart for optimal growth.

Watering

Water your Cocoplum regularly, especially during dry periods. However, avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.

Fertilizers

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended dosage.   

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot your Cocoplum every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a slightly larger pot and use well-draining potting mix.

Fruiting Season

Cocoplums typically fruit during the summer months. The exact timing may vary depending on the specific cultivar and climatic conditions.
