Cultivation method:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Use a peat moss-based mix to optimise germination (21-24°C). Transplant the 4cm seedlings into individual pots and reduce the temperature to 15-18°C. Once hardened off, plant out in the ground or in a container in late May, spacing 60cm apart.
Apply constant and foot watering to limit diseases. Mulching helps preserve moisture and protects the fruit from soil splashes.
