The averrhoa genus, including plants like starfruit and bilimbi, prefers well-drained, mildly acidic to neutral soils and plenty of sunlight. Start by preparing a spot in your garden that meets these conditions. Plant averrhoa seedlings or small plants, ensuring proper spacing for growth. Water moderately but regularly, allowing the soil to slightly dry out between watering. While planting guidelines are generally similar for this genus, gardeners should do species-specific research for best results. Remember, balanced annual fertilization helps averrhoa thrive.
