Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny to partially shaded location in your garden where your Acai plant will receive adequate sunlight. Acai palms thrive in tropical and subtropical climates.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5-6.5). If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter for better drainage.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Acai Fruit Seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 6-10 feet apart for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, particularly during dry periods, but ensure the plant has proper drainage.
- Care for the Plant: Acai palms need plenty of sunlight and space to grow. As they mature, they may require support or protection from extreme temperatures.
- Harvesting: Once the plants start to bear fruit (usually 3-4 years after planting), the berries will ripen in clusters. Harvest the acai berries when they are dark purple and fully ripened.
