Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist — never let it dry out during fruiting. Waterlogging causes wilt.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained loamy soil with compost
• Temperature: 22-35C
• Fertiliser: Compost or NPK every 2–3 weeks; increase potassium in the fruiting phase.

Sowing season in India

June–July and November–December (nursery sowing; transplant after 25–30 days). Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems
