Originating from environments that can range from seasonally dry to moist, hymenaeas has adapted to be moderately drought-tolerant. Preferring a balance in moisture, it thrives with consistent but not excessive watering. Accordingly, hymenaeas benefits from being watered once every two weeks, aligning with its natural rhythm of water uptake. Typically grown outdoors due to its size and climatic preferences, hymenaeas flourishes when the soil's moisture levels mimic the periodic rainfall of its native habitat.
