Care for growing Monodora grandiflora sapling<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I am interested to grow a Monodora grandiflora<\/em> sapling in my garden. Here temperature varies from 5 \u00b0C to 42 \u00b0C. I have been looking for some information to grow it successfully, specially about its soil, water, sunlight and environment requirements.<\/div>\n
If any knowledgeable person kindly help me with some proper information, I would really appreciate it.<\/div>\n
\n

Hope you should help me in this regard.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In North Eastern conditions it can be grown. It has been grown in Kolkata Botanical Garden<\/span>.\u00a0 Check these links for how to grow from seeds :

Pl. see more details at\u00a0Monodora myristica<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/div>\n
I think you are talking of this tree.
\nM. grandiflora\u00a0<\/i>is a syn. of\u00a0<\/span>M. undulata<\/b><\/i>\u00a0as per\u00a0<\/span>POWO<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Yes. You are right. Thanks a lot for updating the species name<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I need information on how to care and maintain Monodora grandiflora plants. I have a sapling. So let me know about its soil, water and sunlight requirements, and whether it prefers full sun or semi shade or only morning sun etc.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Pl. check at BSI, Howrah or AHSI\u00a0at Alipore, Kolkata.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
But I live far away from Kolkata, and they don’t respond to emails seeking help for growing plants etc. So I am looking for help from any knowledgeable person.<\/p>\n
