Malaysian apple

Malaysian apple (Syzygium malaccense) should be watered every 3 to 4 days. For best results, water the soil until it is slightly moist but not soggy, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out in between waterings. Water in the morning whenever possible, allowing the soil to dry out before nightfall. In addition to regular watering, misting the leaves periodically will help provide additional humidity.

Malaysian apples prefer a position in full sun, at least 6 hours a day. In tropical climates, full sun means exposure to intense sunlight, from early morning until late afternoon. When optimal light exposure is not available, supplement sunlight with grow lights. Place the Malaysian apple in a sunny spot that will not be shaded during the day, such as a south-facing windowsill, patio or balcony.

Pruning for a Malaysian apple plant (Syzygium malaccense) should be done depending on its purpose. If the Malaysian apple plant is being grown for its fruit, then the pruning should be done twice a year. Once in the beginning of early summer, and again at the end of the growing season. Fruiting former shoots should be removed at each pruning session. If the Malaysian apple is being grown as a ornamental tree, it should be pruned 2 to 3 times a year, during the dormant season. This will help to thin out the tree and promote its shape. It's best to remove only dead, damaged or diseased branches during this process, and never more than 1 third of the total growth each year.
