Quantity : +/- 4 seeds
Maturity : 60 days
Seed Sowing Guide:
Make small holes in the seedling soil and place 1 to 2 seeds in each hole, then cover with a thin layer of soil. Water the seeds twice a day until after germination (8 to 12 days).
When the seedlings have 3 to 4 true leaves, thin out excess seedlings (remove weak seedlings) or transplant and keep the strongest seedling for each hole. Leave a 30cm gap for each plant and build a trellis to support it.
Top-dress with Baba 532 organic foliage fertiliser weekly. When the plants grow bigger, use Baba 426 organic fruiting fertiliser. Place the fertiliser 10 to 15cm away from the plant and cover with soil. Water the plant after fertilisation.
The fruit is ready to be harvested when it becomes plump.
Growing Tips:
After blooming, manually pollinate in the morning.
Thin out leaves to ensure proper ventilation of plants and to avoid mealybug attacks.
