    Frequently asked questions(5)

    Sow seeds in February-March to transplant seedlings outdoors in May after frost danger passes. Seedlings should be 50-60 days old at planting time.

    Water 2-3 times weekly during vegetative period, increasing frequency during flowering and fruiting. Soil should be moist to 20-25 cm depth. Avoid wetting the leaves.

    Side shoots drain nutrients and delay fruiting. Removing them improves air circulation, reduces disease risk, and increases fruit size. Remove weekly when they reach 5-7 cm.

    Optimal temperatures: day 22-28°C, night 16-18°C. Below 10°C and above 32°C plants stop setting fruit. Provide shade and good ventilation on hot days.

    Use balanced fertilizers (NPK 10-10-10) during vegetative growth, phosphorus-rich during flowering and fruiting. Incorporate organic matter at planting. Fertilize every 1-2 months.
