Water: Originating from areas with intermittent rainfall, plinia requires watering every 1-2 weeks, favoring consistent moisture without waterlogging. Thriving in humid climates, plinia prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot during its active growth period.

Propagation: Plinia propagation methods include seed sowing, cuttings, and air layering, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Use a greenhouse for controlled conditions. Soak seeds for 24 hours, plant in rich substrate at 20-25°C. For cuttings, use healthy segments, apply rooting hormone, and ensure high humidity.
