How to Care for the Plant

Water
A key aspect of Eugenia care is its need for water. While it can survive brief periods of drought, this plant does best when kept moist but not soggy. Situate the container in full sun when growing Eugenia indoors.
Pruning
Prune judiciously to remove dead material and keep it in a compact habit.
Fertilizer
Repot the bush cherry at least every three years and fertilize it in spring.
