Mangosteen

Mangosteen is a relatively obscure fruit, it shouldn’t be overlooked, as it offer many health benefits due to its rich supply of nutrients, fiber, and unique antioxidants.

Care

Being a tropical plant, it enjoys direct and filtered light, both. A spot that gets a minimum of 5-6 hours of direct sunlight a day, with shaded afternoons, will be ideal for its optimum growth. The tree does well in rich, porous, and well-draining soil. Clay soil with equal parts of sand and silt works best. Water the plant regularly in the initial stage for best growth. During dry spells, young plants will require consistent watering to keep the soil moist. Once the tree attains a good growth, you don’t have to care much as it’ll be self-sufficient then.
