Growing pitanga in pot
For planting, make sure you use a fertilized land that is always humid, but not soaked. In this way, we recommend that you also use expanded clay and sand or blanket when preparing the substrate. Also, don't forget to use a vase that has a good depth, as this plant has deep roots.
After planting the seed, water the soil continuously until it sprouts, and only then can you reduce the amount of watering. Also, be sure to also use seeds taken from a fruit that is ripe. Thus, it should germinate in a short time, but the harvest may take a while.
Pitanga care
The pitangas develop better in warm regions, so they do not tolerate low temperatures. In this way, care involves keeping the plant always moist to withstand the heat. Therefore, in summer times, you should water your pitanga tree weekly.
In winter, these waterings can be fortnightly and even monthly, depending on the ambient temperature. A tip to improve planting quality is to use bone meal to make the substrate even richer. With these precautions in mind, you will soon be enjoying the pitangas produced at home.
