Malpighia emarginata aka Barbados Cherry

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Barbados Cherry due to its easy-going nature.

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

To ensure optimal growth, the Barbados Cherry prefers bright diffused 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.
