Streblus plants prefer well-draining, rich, organic soils, and are best grown in areas with bright light to partial shade. To plant, prepare the area by removing weeds and amending the soil as necessary. Dig a hole wide enough for the root system, and place the streblus plant in, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface. After planting, water thoroughly. While general guidelines apply to many species in the genus, some streblus species may have specific requirements.
