For ackama, well-draining, fertile soil is essential; a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Ackama thrives in partial to full sunlight exposure, with some species tolerating shade. Regular watering to maintain moist soil, especially during dry spells, is crucial. To plant, dig holes twice the width of the root ball, spacing them according to mature size. Gently position each plant, backfill, and water thoroughly. Mulch to retain moisture. Adapting practices to the specific species' needs within the genus is important for optimal growth.
