Cultivation
Sunlight
Partial Shade (morning sun preferred). Use 40% shade cloth above 32°C—heat sterilizes pollen.
Watering
Consistent moisture. Mulch heavily with straw to keep roots cool.
Soil Mix
Calcium-enriched. Add crushed eggshells or dolomite lime to prevent blossom end rot.
Fertilizer
Apply high-potash (K) fertilizer once fruiting begins.
Challenges
Fruit Fly is the number one enemy. Viral diseases spread by whitefly.
Organza bagging of fruit clusters is mandatory in Thailand.
