Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in compost or well-rotted organic manure. A pH range of 5.5–6.8 works best.
2. Sowing: Start seeds in a nursery tray or small pots at a depth of 1 cm; transplant seedlings to the main bed after 25–30 days when they have 4–5 true leaves.
3. Spacing: Maintain 45–60 cm spacing between transplanted seedlings to allow the plant to branch out fully.
4. Watering: Water every 2–3 days, keeping soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit development.
5. Sunlight: Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for strong growth and good fruit set.
6. Staking: For taller varieties, provide a light stake once the plant begins fruiting, as heavy fruit loads can cause branches to bend.
7. Fertilizing: Apply organic compost or balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks, especially once flowering and fruiting begins.
8. Pest Management: Watch for fruit and shoot borers, aphids, and whiteflies. Use neem oil spray as a natural, safe control method.
9. Harvesting: Ready to harvest in 70–85 days from transplanting. Pick fruits while young, glossy, and firm, before seeds inside harden.
10. Harvest Tip: Regular harvesting encourages the plant to keep flowering and fruiting over an extended season of several months.
