Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Star Fruit trees thrive in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates with plenty of sunshine. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH. Suitable regions include Florida, Southern California, Hawaii, and other areas with similar climates.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by amending it with organic matter like compost to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Planting: Plant the grafted tree at the same depth it was growing in the nursery container.
4. Spacing: Allow ample space between trees for proper growth and air circulation, typically 15-20 feet.

Watering

Water the tree deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the tree during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Follow the fertilizer instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilization.

Re-potting Instructions

Re-pot young trees annually in slightly larger containers using well-draining potting mix. For established trees in the ground, re-potting is generally not necessary.
