In addition, mangosteen trees need a lot of water when they grow, but the drainage conditions in the park are good. Generally, temperatures higher than 40 degrees or lower than 5 degrees are easy to cause plant death.

2. Mangosteen trees are generally planted by cutting, grafting, layering and branching, and can be transplanted all year round. Among them, cutting is to select strong mangosteen branches and insert them into the seedbed to make them become complete plants.
3. Before planting mangosteen fruit trees, it is best to remove weeds, then dig planting pits, apply human and animal manure, and dig drainage ditches at the same time. When there is much rain, excess water can be discharged in time.

At the beginning of the rainy season, it is necessary to sprinkle some calcium and magnesium fertilizers. The method of sprinkling is generally to open holes and fertilize, and then backfill the soil to the roots of seedlings after fertilization, so that the fertilizers can be well mixed together. Generally speaking, the fertilizer should be sprinkled about three times in the rainy season, mainly some trimmed compound fertilizers, but the soil should be covered in time after each fertilization.
