Noni can tolerate a wide variety of low-altitude conditions including drought, with minimal decline, but enjoys high humidity (50% is optimal). It can survive 3-6 months with minimal watering but looks better with occasional summer watering. When soil dries out completely, water to 1-inch depth and add a mound of mulch (3 inches) beneath drip line.
