Plant Care

Barbados Cherry should receive full to partial sunlight and be planted in well-drained soil with organic material. Water regularly until established, then it becomes drought tolerant.

When you receive your plant, we suggest amending your soil with coco coir or coco perlite to keep your mix fluffy and make the best environment for the roots to establish and grow healthy.
