Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start seeds indoors at a consistent temperature of 21°C (70°F) to ensure strong germination. Once seedlings are ready, transition them to a location with full sun. Before planting, enrich your soil with well-rotted manure or a high-quality balanced fertiliser to support the plant's nutrient needs throughout its development. During the growing cycle, maintain steady soil moisture; avoid letting the ground dry out completely, as this can affect curd development. If growing in containers, ensure they are deep enough to accommodate root development and provide adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
