How to grow egg fruit in the north

1. Water: The egg fruit has high requirements for water. The plant is neither drought-resistant nor waterlogged. It needs to be watered in time during droughts and drained in time during rainy seasons. During the fruit-bearing period, the plant's water demand is the greatest.

2. Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of egg fruit is 20-30℃, and the annual average temperature of the planting site must be above 18℃. Too high or too low temperature is not conducive to the growth of the plant. When the temperature is below 0℃, the plant will be frozen.
