Default Project Mangosteen

Hello everyone. Kevin here with another project. This time it doesn't involve orchids. I am going to attempt to grow the Queen of Fruits: Mangosteen. I managed to get my hands on eight fruits at the local market and fell in love with the tiny red orbs. I looked up some info on them and soaked the "seeds" (they're actually not seeds) for 24 hours. I got two twelve inch (i think) pots and planted two in each (they grow faster when planted closely together). The potting mix is basically decomposed wood chips mixed with some more compost. I am watering daily with RO water. Any suggestions on care in the future?

Never grown them, but one thing I read is that they can't take temperatures below 40. Good luck, they're crazy delicious.
