General Growing Guide:
Soil Preparation: Use loose, lightweight, well-draining potting soil. Avoid compacted or waterlogged clay soil to support healthy root development.
Sowing: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to break dormancy. Sow seeds at a consistent depth of 1–2 cm in moistened soil for best germination results.
Initial Care: Keep soil evenly moist and place in a warm, full-sun, well-ventilated area until seedlings emerge. Stable warm temperatures greatly speed up sprouting.
Ongoing Care: Provide full sunlight daily, maintain moderate regular watering, and apply light fertilizer during active growing seasons to support fast foliage growth and healthy fruiting.
Please refer to variety-specific growing tips for detailed seasonal care and maintenance.
