I have the tree indoors inside of a 5 gallon water jug that doubles as a 'greenhouse'. The tree is still in its liter grow bag I received it in, and after a few days the leaves started to perk up and reach for the light. I have it growing under a Metal Halide lamp and the temp inside the jug is right around 85 degrees all day. The humidity is around 90%+ and it seems to be doing just fine. Not sure if I will ever be able to move it outside, but for now I am taking small steps. Once I see that it is producing new growth and looking healthy, I will move it into a deep 1-3 gallon pot, with well draining soil and plenty of organic matter. Hope this information helps anyone with the Mangosteen 'bug' because it has infected me and hopefully one day we can all enjoy this 'queen of fruits' Send any questions you may have to webmaster@bayareabotanicals.com I will be glad to help if I can!

Check it out and let me know how your growing conditions compare: Full sun vs. sunshade vs. greenhouse (type) etc. The Growing Zone you are in is a HUGE Factor on this plant's success if it is outside in full sun.
