water
Water deeply and regularly during the growing season, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the flowering and fruiting stage to encourage production. Provide drainage to prevent root rot.
soil
Prefers well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. pH range 5.5–7.5 is ideal. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged soils. Amend with compost or aged manure.
