Abiu requires consistent moisture, especially during establishment and fruiting. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but do not allow the soil to completely dry out.

Prune abiu to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done after fruiting.

Heavy pruning is generally not recommended and should be done sparingly to avoid stressing the tree. Focus on maintaining an open canopy.

Abiu is primarily propagated by seed, which should be sown fresh. Grafting is also a common method to ensure desirable traits and faster fruiting. Cuttings are difficult to root.

Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination.

Young abiu trees benefit from repotting every 1-2 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature trees in the ground rarely need repotting.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one when repotting.
