Sunlight
Prefers full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent leaf scorch. Adequate sunlight is crucial for healthy growth and flowering. Direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day is ideal.
Watering
Regular watering is essential, especially for young trees and during dry spells. Allow the top soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but avoid letting it become completely parched. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
Soil
Well-drained loam
Temperature
Warm temperatures are preferred. It grows best in tropical and subtropical climates, with ideal temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. It can tolerate brief periods of cooler weather but is sensitive to frost.
Habitat
Outdoor
Fertilizer
Feed during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Slow-release options are good for established trees, while liquid feeds can be used for potted plants every 4-6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilization.
