Follow these simple steps to grow at home:

• Select fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil enriched with organic compost or well-decomposed farmyard manure. Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep, maintaining a spacing of 1.5–2 meters between plants for proper vine development. Water immediately after sowing and maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season. Use a trellis or support system to promote healthy vine growth, improve fruit quality, and simplify harvesting. Control weeds regularly and apply balanced fertilizers at recommended intervals to encourage vigorous growth and higher yields. Harvest tender fruits approximately 45–55 days after sowing. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruit production.
