Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Mangosteens thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with high humidity and consistent warmth. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Suitable regions include Southeast Asia, parts of Central and South America, and tropical islands.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

  1. Location: Choose a sheltered location with partial shade, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
  2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility.
  3. Planting: Plant the seedling at the same depth it was growing in the nursery pot. Gently firm the soil around the base.
  4. Spacing: Allow ample space between trees, typically 15-20 feet, to accommodate their mature size.

Watering

Water the seedling regularly, especially during dry periods. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid over-watering, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilizers

Fertilize the seedling regularly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Avoid excessive fertilization, which can harm the plant.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot young seedlings as needed into larger containers to accommodate their growing root system. Use well-draining potting mix.

Fruiting Season

Mangosteen trees typically begin fruiting 5-7 years after planting. Fruiting season varies depending on the specific variety and climate.
