Malunngay tree is easy to grow indeed. Just plant them on soil and that's it. Just water them morning and evening. Take care of them as like babies or pet. And they will love you backy giving lots of fruits and leaves.
If you could able to grow more. You can use it for living.

hi! we have a few trees at home and my dad is the one responsible for growing them. i asked him earlier about your query. and he said, it's best to plant during mild weather conditions. malungay loves water but not over much that it gets clogged. sandy soil is much preferred than clay soil. it's pretty much easy once it has grown its roots (so to speak). not a lot of upkeep.
we use the leaves a lot in our vegies and soups. it's a great, inexpensive source of vitamins and nutritious elements.
if you can attach a photo and describe how you planted them and what you have done so far... it would help in planning what else could be done.
goodluck with growing it.
