How many years does it take for potted mangosteen to bear fruit?

1. How many years will it take to bear fruit

Potted mangosteen can also bear fruit, but its lifespan is relatively long, so the time it takes to bear fruit is also very long. It takes at least 7-10 years from the beginning of cultivation to the fruiting. Therefore, it is not easy to bear fruit in a potted plant. It requires the support of a lot of growth factors and has strict requirements on the surrounding growth environment. If it is properly maintained and the surrounding conditions are suitable, it will bear fruit around May to October. One thing that needs to be noted is that it likes a warm and high-temperature growing environment. If it is planted in the north, it will be difficult to bear fruit even if placed indoors, so it can just be appreciated as a green plant.

2. How to bear fruit

1. Loam: The main source of nutrition for potted plants is loam, which has a relatively strong adaptability. It is best to provide sandy loam with a high organic matter content and a pH value of about 5-6.5.

2. Sunlight: The preferred sunlight is not strong. If the plant is in a strong light environment, it will easily wither and dry up.

3. Humidity: Humidity is also very important. It needs to be maintained at at least 80%. If the air is too dry and not conducive to growth, you can spray some water around the plant to increase the humidity.

4. Water: When the growth is rapid, the demand for water is greater.
