Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) for optimal growth and fruit production.
• Climate: Thrives best in warm, humid tropical and subtropical environments.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with a high organic matter content.
