Growing Characteristics

Exposure: Sun / Partial Shade
Plants that receive about 6 hours of direct light per day, preferably in the morning. These areas are suitable for plants that do not require full sun but still need light, with exposures to the northeast or northwest, providing a balance between light and shade throughout the day. The exposure indicates how many hours of direct sunlight the plant needs for optimal growth. It can be full sun, partial shade, or shade, depending on the amount of natural light the plant needs to thrive and produce fruit. This information helps position the plants to promote their growth.

Harvest Time: 90 days
The harvest time indicates how many days the fruit can be harvested (note: ripening may occur at different times than indicated, influenced by climatic factors, irrigation, and soil fertility).

Transplant Distance: 150x200
The transplant distance is the space between plants at the time of planting, both in the row and between rows. Correct spacing avoids competition for light and nutrients, promoting growth and production, while spaces that are too tight or too wide can negatively affect the quantity and quality of the fruits.

Weight: 2 kg
Indicates the average weight of the fruits harvested under normal growing conditions. This value may vary depending on factors such as the harvest phase, fertilization practices, and climatic conditions. In the early harvests, the weight may be lower than the indicated values. Additionally, conditions such as drought, water shortage, temperature fluctuations, and poor or excessive nitrogen fertilization affect fruit growth, which may be higher or lower than expected.
