Pinching out the side shoots is recommended if you are growing them as a cordon to focus the plant's energy on fruit production.
They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.
As an F1 hybrid, it has robust growth, but you should still monitor for common pests like aphids and whiteflies.
Ensure the plant is receiving enough light and gently shake the plant or stems to encourage pollination if grown in a static indoor environment.
Establish a consistent watering routine; irregular moisture uptake causes the fruit to grow too quickly for the skin to keep up.
Check soil drainage and ensure the plant is receiving adequate nitrogen and potassium; use a balanced liquid feed.
Start your seeds in a warm, bright indoor environment to encourage strong seedling development. Once the risk of frost has passed, carefully acclimatise the plants over 7-10 days by gradually increasing their exposure to outdoor temperatures. Plant them in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. During the growing season, pinch out side-shoots if you are training the plant as a single-stem cordon to maximize fruit production.
