Sowing Instructions
Soak the seeds in clean water for approximately 8–12 hours before sowing. Plant them around 2–3 cm deep in loose, fertile and well-draining soil.
Keep the soil lightly moist during germination, but avoid overwatering or waterlogging. Once the seedlings are established, retain the healthiest plants and maintain sufficient spacing for proper vine development.
Plant Care
Place the plant in an area receiving good sunlight. Provide a sturdy trellis, net or vertical support to help the vine climb.
Water regularly whenever the upper layer of soil begins to dry. Add well-decomposed organic compost periodically to support healthy growth, flowering and fruit formation. Harvest the fruits while they are young and tender for the best taste and texture.
