Planting & Care

Transplant your soursop starter plant into a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the establishment period, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. In cooler climates, grow in a large container that can be moved indoors or to a protected area during cold spells.

Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season and mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Protect young plants from strong winds and frost. With proper care, your soursop tree will develop into a productive and attractive tropical specimen.
