A few tips for growing it from the Rarefruit group:
It likes a lot of water (should not be a problem most of the time in Puna!), even standing in water if in a pot.
It likes acid soil.
I had seedlings that were not doing much of anything and the new leaves were starting to blacken at the tips and get progressively smaller. I watered the pot with diluted vinegar (2 tablespoons/gallon of water) and the plants really perked up and the new leaves were larger and healthier.
