• Outdoors: Direct sow seeds in September and again in late February for the best harvests.

Planting & Care Tips

• Light & Soil: Plant in full sun in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost.
• Depth & Germination: Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep. Germination typically occurs within 5–10 days.
• Spacing: Space plants 60–90 cm apart, with 90–120 cm between rows.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit production, while avoiding waterlogged conditions.
• Feeding: Apply compost before planting and feed with a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks. Increase potassium during flowering to encourage abundant fruit production.
• Harvest: Harvest fruits in approximately 45–55 days, when they reach 8–10 cm in diameter and are firm and tender.
• Harvesting Tips: Harvest regularly using a clean knife or pruners to encourage continuous production and prevent fruits from becoming oversized.
