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.
