Sapotes is a fruit-bearing plant genus in the Rutaceae family, with moderate overall care needs. Basic care for these plants entails exposure to full sunlight, weekly watering, and a temperature range of 25-30°C. The plants prefer well-draining soil, with a preference for sandy or loamy types. Common challenges include pests like aphids and snails, and diseases like root rot, often due to waterlogging. Seasonally, sapotes has increased watering needs during the hotter months and requires extra frost protection in the winter.
