How to Care: Zill’s Surinam Cherry Plant
How to Care: Zill’s Surinam Cherry Plant
Watering: Water consistently to keep soil lightly moist. Let the top 1 inch of soil dry between waterings. Avoid standing water.
Sunlight: Loves bright light! Place it in full sun (6–8 hours daily) for best fruiting. Can tolerate light shade.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic compost. Slight acidity helps it thrive.
Temperature: Perfect for tropical and subtropical climates. Can handle short dry spells but protect from frost.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced organic fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during growing season to boost flowering and fruit quality.
Pruning: Light pruning after harvest encourages bushy growth and more fruit. Remove crossing or weak stems.
💡 Unlike regular Surinam cherry, the Zill's variety has less resin, a sweeter taste, and faster fruiting — making it the top choice for serious gardeners.

i’ve tried the regular surinam before, but this one tastes wayyy better. less bitter, more sweet and fruity. plant came fresh and healthy.

didn’t expect it to fruit this quickly! within a few months it started flowering and now i’ve got little cherries growing 😍 super excited!

absolutely love how the fruits look – deep red, shiny and ribbed. plant is growing fast and loves the sun on my terrace.

got this for my mom and she’s obsessed. she eats them straight from the plant lol. fast delivery and super good condition.

honestly a rare find. this zill’s variety tastes so much better than the normal ones i’ve tasted. also super low maintenance.

can’t believe how bushy and healthy it got in just 2 weeks. packaging was solid and plant didn’t drop even a single leaf.

mine’s growing on the balcony in a pot and doing really well. gets morning sun and i water it every 2 days. no issues so far!

the fruit has this tropical candy taste that’s so addicting. i didn’t think a cherry could be this good. highly recommend if you love rare fruits.
