Miracle Fruit

Miracle Fruit is a small tropical fruit tree native to West Africa. It produces berries that contain a unique protein called miraculin, which can alter the taste buds and make sour and bitter foods taste sweet.

Miracle Fruit plants are popular as novelty plants, and they are often grown as houseplants or in greenhouses. They can grow up to 15 feet tall, but they are often pruned to a more manageable size for indoor cultivation.

Miracle Fruit plants prefer well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, but they can also tolerate partial shade. They require regular watering and fertilization during the growing season, and they should be protected from frost and cold temperatures.

Propagation of Miracle Fruit plants is typically done through seeds or cuttings, which can be rooted in water or soil. The plants can take several years to produce fruit, but once established, they can produce berries year-round.
