Plant Care Guide

Sunlight

• Requires full sunlight (6–8 hours daily)
• Essential for good flowering and fruit sweetness

Soil

• Prefers well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter
• Can tolerate a range of soils but performs best in fertile soil
• Ideal pH range: 5.0 to 7.5

Watering

• Water regularly during growth and fruiting stages
• Keep soil moderately moist but not waterlogged
• Reduce watering during winter
• Avoid irregular watering to prevent fruit cracking

Fertilizers

• Apply compost or well-rotted manure every 30–45 days
• Use balanced NPK fertilizer (10:10:10) during growth phase
• Add phosphorus and potassium to improve flowering and fruit quality
• Micronutrients like zinc and boron help improve yield

Re-potting Instructions

• Re-pot every 1–2 years when grown in containers
• Use a pot of at least 16–20 inches depth
• Replace topsoil annually with fresh compost mix
• Ensure good drainage holes
• Use well-aerated potting mix

Fruiting Season

Care Tips

• Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage new growth
• Remove weak, diseased, or overcrowded branches
• Mulching helps retain soil moisture and improve soil fertility
• Protect fruits from fruit flies using covers or traps
• Spray neem oil to control pests like aphids and mealybugs
• Ensure proper sunlight and spacing for better yield.
