<p>Jambu air thrives in natural settings with a pronounced dry season, ideally near a water source such as a stream. When cultivated in urban parks or residential gardens, it should be strategically positioned next to a water supply to ensure consistent hydration. This tropical tree requires minimal upkeep once established, growing rapidly and yielding fruits within 2-3 years. To maximize fruit production, apply a compound fertilizer post-harvest. Jambu air can be propagated through various methods, including air layering, cuttings, budding, marcotting, and grafting, as its seeds do not store well and should be promptly planted.</p>
