Care and Maintenance
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Miracle Fruit prefers rainwater or distilled water due to sensitivity to tap water minerals.
Fertilizing: Feed with an acidic fertilizer (like azalea fertilizer) every 2-3 months. Avoid fertilizers with high phosphorus content.
Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
Pollination: Miracle Fruit is self-pollinating, but gently shaking the plant can help distribute pollen.
Harvesting: Fruits appear about 2-3 years after planting. Pick them when they are bright red and fully ripe.
Planting Care
Soil: Use well-draining, acidic soil (pH 4.5-6.0). A mix of peat moss, pine bark, and sand is ideal.
Location: Choose a spot with partial shade. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
