Sunlight & Watering

Sunlight: Full sun, preferably 6–8 hours daily.

During extreme summer heat in Lahore and similar regions, provide light afternoon shade to reduce flower drop and sunscald.

Watering: Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, particularly during flowering and fruit development.

Avoid prolonged dryness, irregular watering and waterlogging.

Consistent moisture and adequate calcium uptake help reduce the risk of blossom-end rot.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the soil before transplanting.

Apply balanced nutrition during early vegetative growth.

During flowering and fruiting, provide adequate potassium, calcium and other essential nutrients.

Additional vermicompost may be applied when necessary.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, which can encourage excessive foliage growth and reduce fruit production.
