Abiu Growing Guide
- Light: Bright shade / indirect light for the first 2–4 weeks after arrival, then gradually acclimate to full sun
- Temperature: 70–90°F ideal. Protect from anything below 55°F
- Soil: Rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil
- Water: Keep evenly moist but never waterlogged — excellent drainage is critical
- Pollination: Self-fertile but benefits from having multiple trees
Pro Tip: Place new arrivals in full shade (no direct sun) for 1–3 weeks so they can recover and acclimate after shipping. Gradually introduce them to more light over time.
