Planting & Care

When your starter plant arrives, transplant it into a well-draining potting mix or directly into the garden if you live in a frost-free climate. Choose a location that receives plenty of sunlight and protection from strong winds. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the establishment period, allowing the top inch to dry slightly between waterings.

Soursop trees benefit from regular watering during the growing season and a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth. In cooler zones, grow the tree in a large container and move it indoors or to a protected area before temperatures drop below freezing. Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
