Soil Requirements — Well drained soil |
| Planting Advice | Sow seeds in clumps of 2-3 seeds, spacing each clump 60cm apart. Place the seeds on their edges to ensure they don't rot and keep moist. Soil must be warm and should not be very fertile – over-fertile soils result in poor fruit growth and excessive leaves. Thin to the strongest seedling in each group when they emerge. Provide liquid feeds and if needed, hand-pollinate the female flowers. Harvest when the stalks become dry. Fruits store for 4-5 months if kept dry and uninjured. |
