Soursop is a tropical fruit tree that needs consistently warm temperatures, regular watering, and at least 6 hours of sunlight to thrive. Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season to encourage fruiting. It is frost-sensitive, so container growing with winter protection is recommended in cooler climates.
