Acai Soil and Climate Requirements

E xperts have outlined the basic Acai soil and climate requirements for successful propagation. The soil is very important as it performs essential functions for the Acai palm tree. It should drain well to prevent rotting, fungal growth and wash away salt build up. The soil must be able to retain moisture for enough hydration of the roots. It must be able to keep minerals and soluble salts for optimum nourishment of the growing Acai palm tree. It must also enable air to be channeled to the roots when it rains or during watering while preventing the roots from drying out.

Acai palm trees love moisture; hence, high humidity and frequent watering are very important. Rain water or well water is ideal but tap water can also be used. However, water from a softener system is contraindicated because it has already lost healthful calcium, magnesium and manganese ions in exchange for sodium ions. Acai palm tree should not be exposed to drying winds as these can drain the moisture from the leaves, disrupt photosynthesis and cause irreversible damage to the cells.

Another important consideration is sunlight. Six to eight hours of light is enough to provide all the energy the Acai palm tree needs for photosynthesis. However, excessive exposure to direct sunlight can be hard on the growing tree. In the wild, Acai palm trees are protected from direct sunlight by the canopy of taller trees. Experts suggest that the ideal light intensity for young, fruit bearing Acai palm trees is around 20 to 40 percent shade during summer and 10 to 20 percent shade during winter. Acai palm trees grow well from sea level to about 3,000 meters in elevation. Acai can grow anywhere within that range provided the temperature is closely monitored. Temperatures between 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit would be perfect but Acai palm trees can tolerate temperature from 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is likewise vital to provide maximum level of protection for Acai palms that grow in frost prone areas. In the southern regions of Florida and in certain areas in the Gulf of Mexico, Acai palms are particularly prone to frost. A good level of protection can be achieved by using wrap around the Acai palms. This method will prevent frost from adhering onto the Acai palms. Enough warmth can also be provided with the aid of exterior sources. A greenhouse is ideal in regions with cold climate conditions. The ideal temperature similar to that in the tropics can be maintained with the help of a greenhouse. Ventilation holes must also be present for proper air circulation. Once the aforementioned Acai soil and climate requirements are met, growers are guaranteed of a plentiful harvest of Acai berries.
