Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Requires full sun; provide at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best fruit production.
• Water: Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top layer to dry slightly between watering.
• Soil: Use well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix or garden soil with added compost.
• Humidity: Tolerates average outdoor humidity; good airflow helps prevent disease.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions between 18–30°C; protect from cold temperatures below 12°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks during growing season with a balanced or vegetable fertilizer.
• Maintenance: Stake if needed when heavy with fruit; harvest frequently to encourage continued production.
• Repotting: Repot into a larger container as the plant grows to support root development and higher yields.
