Annona cherimola aka Chirimoya

Caring for Chirimoya is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Chirimoya should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Chirimoya prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Chirimoya to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

Chirimoya’s native range is Western S. America - Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador.
