2. Growing conditions for mangosteen

1. Soil conditions

The soil for growing mangosteen must be relatively fertile, because mangosteen likes fertilizer. Land that has been used for crop rotation is not suitable for growing mangosteen, because the nutrients are not enough for its growth. The soil should also have good looseness and drainage, and the soil layer should be as deep as possible. You can also plant it on wasteland with a water source, provided that the plot has no weeds.

2. Loosening the soil and clearing old roots

After mangosteen is planted, the soil should be cleared once a year, usually in July to August each year. When loosening the soil, old and weak-growing mangosteen should be removed. In this way, nutrients can be concentrated on the well-growing mangosteen.

3. Key planting points

After keeping the mother mangosteen, pay attention to water and fertilizer, because mangosteen likes to grow in a humid environment. If the soil becomes dry, water should be added in time. When watering, be careful not to water too much at once, so as to avoid waterlogging and root rot. If it lacks water for a long time, mangosteen will show yellow leaves and wilting.

4. Other points to note

Because mangosteen is a perennial fruit tree, planting it will not bring returns immediately, so before planting, preparation work such as site selection must be done well, because once it is planted, it will affect the returns for the following years.

In summary, the price of mangosteen is not cheap now, so see whether it drops depending on the time it hits the market. Growing mangosteen also requires meeting its growing conditions, otherwise it cannot survive.
