Planting & Growing Tips
Initial Care: Upon arrival, give your plant a good drink and place it in a partially shaded, wind-protected spot. Allow it to acclimatise in its original pot for a few days before transplanting.
Transplanting: Re-pot into a large container or plant into the garden when roots begin to emerge from the drainage holes. Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
Position: Requires a warm, sunny position with well-drained soil to thrive. It will grow in partial shade but produces the most fruit in full sun. A slightly raised garden bed is ideal for ensuring excellent drainage.
Support: This is a vigorous climbing vine that requires a strong trellis, fence, or structure to support its growth.
Feeding: For best fruiting, feed with a balanced, organic fertiliser during the growing season.
Additional Notes
Sun Acclimatisation: Our nursery plants are grown in partial shade. To prevent sun shock, gradually introduce them to full sun over a week before planting them in their permanent sunny position.
