Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6-8 hours a day) for vigorous growth and abundant fruiting.
• Air Circulation: Ensure the plant is in a location with good air movement to minimize fungal issues.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining soil. A rich, loamy soil with plenty of organic matter is ideal.
• Watering: Water regularly and deeply, especially during dry spells and when the plant is actively growing or fruiting. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but never waterlogged.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer during the main growing season to support vine health and fruit production.
