DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Eugenia brasiliensis requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Oogst
Eugenia brasiliensis, commonly known as the Grumichama, typically takes about one year from flowering to fruit maturity. The fruits are usually ready for harvest in late spring to early summer. Harvesting should be done when the fruits are fully ripe, which is indicated by their deep purple to black color. The fruits should be gently picked by hand to avoid damaging the tree and the fruit itself. It is important to harvest regularly as the fruits do not ripen all at once. Additionally, ensure that the tree is well-watered and maintained during the growing season to promote healthy fruit development.Bodem
The Brazilian Cherry prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Adding organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production.Verpotten
Repot young trees every 2-3 years to accommodate their growing root system. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Eugenia brasiliensis can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood branches and rooted in a humid environment.Snoeien
Prune the tree to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Regular pruning can also help improve air circulation and light penetration within the canopy.Toxiciteit
Eugenia brasiliensis is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. The fruits are edible and safe to consume. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to monitor pets and children to prevent them from ingesting large quantities of plant material.Aanvullend
The Grumichama tree is relatively low-maintenance once established. It can tolerate short periods of drought but performs best with consistent moisture. Mulching around the base of the tree can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
