Plant in well-drained soil under full sunlight. Dig a pit about 1.5x1.5 feet, mix soil with compost and organic manure, and plant the sapling firmly. Water immediately after planting, then regularly but avoid waterlogging. Add organic fertilizer every 2-3 months and prune lightly to maintain shape.
To grow a custard apple plant from a sapling, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Dig a pit, mix soil with compost and organic manure, then plant the sapling at the same depth as in its bag. Water thoroughly, mulch around the base, and provide regular but not excessive watering.
A grafted custard apple plant (सिताफळ) like Balanagar Golden usually starts bearing fruit in about 2 to 3 years under good care. Seed-grown plants may take longer, around 4 to 5 years. Proper watering, manuring, pest control and light pruning can help the plant fruit earlier and improve yield.
Custard apple plants prefer warm, dry to semi-arid climates with mild winters. They grow best in areas with good sunlight and well-drained soil, and can tolerate some drought once established. Excessive waterlogging or very heavy rainfall can harm roots, so proper drainage and controlled irrigation are important.
Water your custard apple plant deeply but infrequently. Young plants need watering 2–3 times a week depending on heat and soil type. Mature plants can be watered once or twice a week. Always allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot and disease.
For custard apple plants, a mix of well-decomposed farmyard manure or compost with balanced NPK fertilizer works best. Apply organic manure during the monsoon and a balanced NPK dose 2–3 times a year. Adding micronutrients and mulching improves soil health, encourages strong growth and supports higher fruit yields.
