Miracle Fruit Plant (Synsepalum dulcificum)
Description
Miracle Fruit is a unique tropical plant famous for its berries that temporarily turn sour foods sweet. After eating the fruit, lemons taste like lemonade and vinegar tastes surprisingly mild. It’s a fascinating plant for gardeners and a great conversation starter.
Plant Height
- Typically grows to 1.5 – 3 meters in pots or garden conditions
- Can be kept smaller with pruning
- Slow-growing evergreen shrub
Care in Perth (WA)
Miracle Fruit prefers warm, humid conditions, so extra care is needed in Perth’s climate:
- Sunlight: Partial shade (morning sun, afternoon protection)
- Soil: Acidic, well-draining soil (very important)
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
- Humidity: Benefits from misting or being placed near other plants
- Temperature: Protect from cold; avoid temperatures below 10°C
- Pot growing recommended for better control of soil and moisture
How to Grow in Perth
- Best grown in a pot using acidic potting mix (similar to blueberries)
- Use rainwater or filtered water if possible (sensitive to alkaline water)
- Add mulch to retain moisture
- Fertilise lightly with acid-loving plant fertiliser
- Keep in a sheltered spot (patio, greenhouse, or indoors near bright light)
