Growing & Care (Beginner + Experienced Gardeners)

•  Watering: Water deeply once soil looks dry. Don’t flood.
•  Sun: Morning sun is best. Terrace gardeners, keep away from shade walls.
•  Fertilizer: Use cow dung compost every 2–3 months.
•  Pruning: Light pruning after harvest keeps plant short.
•  Flower Care: Avoid heavy watering during flowering time.

Quick soil test: Put finger 2 inches inside soil. If wet, wait.

Nursery Secrets – Detailed Care

•  In my nursery, I noticed Pusa Lalima hates water logging (roots rot fast).
•  During heavy rains, tilt pots slightly for drainage.
•  Use neem oil once a month to control insects.
•  First 2 years, remove fruits early (plant gains strength).
•  Add mulch on top soil in summer (keeps roots cool).
•  Don’t overfeed fertilizers (too much leaf, less fruit).

Sometimes plants look slow first year, don’t panic.
