Planting Requirements

Sugar Apple has specific planting requirements that must be met for successful growth:

  • Player Level: You must be at least Level 20 to plant Sugar Apple seeds
  • Soil Type: Requires Tropical Soil only (Premium Soil will not work)
  • Plot Size: Needs a 4x4 plot space
  • Tools: Tropical Watering Can required (regular watering cans will cause the plant to wither)

Step-by-Step Planting Guide

  1. Prepare a 4x4 plot with Tropical Soil
  2. Ensure the plot is in a sunny area of your tropical island
  3. Select the Sugar Apple seed from your inventory
  4. Click on the center of your prepared plot to plant the seed
  5. Water immediately using the Tropical Watering Can

Growing Conditions

Sugar Apple plants require specific care to reach maturity and produce the highest quality fruit:

Optimal Growing Conditions

  • Watering Schedule: Every 18 minutes (4 times total during growth cycle)
  • Sunlight: High (place in areas with maximum sun exposure)
  • Temperature: Tropical (only grows during Summer season)
  • Fertilizer: Tropical Fertilizer required (other fertilizers will not work)

Growth Stages

The Sugar Apple plant goes through 4 distinct growth stages:

  1. Seedling (0-18 minutes): Small sprout emerges from the soil
  2. Young Plant (18-36 minutes): Develops first set of leaves
  3. Mature Plant (36-54 minutes): Grows taller with multiple branches
  4. Fruiting (54-72 minutes): Produces Sugar Apples ready for harvest
Pro Tip: Using the Tropical Watering Can with perfect timing can reduce total growth time by approximately 10%.

Troubleshooting

If you're having issues growing Sugar Apples, here are some common problems and solutions:

Common Issues

Plant Wilting
If your Sugar Apple plant is wilting, it's likely not being watered frequently enough. Water every 12 minutes for optimal growth.
Slow Growth
Check that you're using the correct soil type (Premium or Tropical). Regular soil will significantly slow growth.
Low Fruit Quality
Ensure you're using Premium Fertilizer and maintaining optimal growing conditions throughout all growth stages.
Unable to Plant Seed
Verify that you're at least Level 15 and have a 3x3 plot with the correct soil type available.
