Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Climate Needs

- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for optimal growth, flowering, and fruit setting.
Watering and Soil
- Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. Loamy or sandy loam soils are ideal.
- Watering: Water regularly and deeply when the plant is young and during the main growing season. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
