Planting & Care Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Requires light, rich, well-draining soil. Potting mix: fine garden soil, cocopeat, and compost/vermicompost in equal proportions. Maintain a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0.

  2. Sowing: Sow seeds 0.5 cm ($\frac{1}{4}$ inch) deep in seedling trays or small paper cups. Keep soil moist and place in a warm, bright spot until germination.

  3. Watering: Water moderately when the topsoil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering or standing water, which leads to flower drop and root rot.

  4. Spacing & Care: Transplant healthy seedlings (30–35 days old, with 4–5 true leaves) into final pots spaced 1 to 1.5 feet (30–45 cm) apart. Pinch off the central growing tip when plants reach 6 inches in height to encourage branching and higher yields. Feed every 2 weeks with organic liquid fertilizer or compost once flowering begins. Spray neem oil solution to protect against thrips, aphids, and leaf curl virus.
