Troubleshooting
Seeds not germinating
Ensure consistent moisture and warmth (around 20-25°C). Check seed viability and sowing depth; do not sow too deep.
Leggy seedlings
Seedlings need more light. Move to a brighter location or use grow lights. Ensure adequate spacing between seedlings.
Blossom end rot on fruit
This is often due to inconsistent watering or calcium deficiency. Ensure steady watering and consider a calcium spray if the problem persists.
Poor fruit set
Ensure adequate pollination (e.g., by gently shaking plants in a greenhouse) and optimal growing conditions (temperature, light, water).
