Professional Planting & Care:

1. Bed Preparation: Prepare raised beds (at least 30 cm high and 1-1.2m wide) to ensure optimal drainage and root aeration.
2. Nursery Phase: Move seedlings to the field when they are 9–12 days old for the best establishment.
3. Pruning: 10–15 days after transplanting, prune the vines to leave the 3 strongest branches per plant.
4. Fruit Selection: Remove the first female flower; select the second or third flower (at the 13th or 15th node) to ensure maximum fruit weight and sugar accumulation.
