Swietenia, or mahogany, thrives in well-draining soil, full to partial sun, and requires regular watering. To plant, prepare an area with ample sunlight and deep, loose soil. Create a hole twice the width of the root ball, position your swietenia and cover the roots, pressing soil firmly around the base. Regular watering and occasional fertilizing promote initial growth. Be aware that specific species may have precise needs. Develop a planting plan based on each species' individual requirements for successful cultivation.
