How to grow papaya in a balcony pot

Growth environment

First, choose a flowerpot with a diameter of about 40. The flowerpot does not need to be too deep, because the roots of papaya are relatively shallow. Disinfect the flowerpot before planting, and then soak it in water for a period of time. This way, the surface of the flowerpot will better protect the growth of the papaya roots.

Papaya does not have high requirements for soil. Choose clean and unpolluted soil, put it in a flowerpot, maintain good soil permeability, and add some nutrients to it appropriately to prepare for growth.

Planting process

Then we can use the eaten papaya and dig out the seeds inside.

Clean the seeds with clean water, pick out the lighter-colored seeds, and then screen the remaining seeds again. The seed shell of papaya is relatively hard, so we need to break it manually, which is more conducive to the germination and growth of the seeds.

The cleaned seeds need to be soaked for a period of time to make them more active.

When planting, spread the papaya seeds flat on the surface of the soil in the flowerpot, leaving appropriate spaces between the seeds to avoid overlapping.

After doing all this, cover the surface of the seeds with small gravel until the seeds are no longer visible, then water them to ensure the soil is moist.

After completing the above steps, the papaya planting is completed.

Management methods

Papaya is generally drought-resistant, so it does not require a lot of watering, just appropriate spraying will do. At the same time, a certain amount of liquid fertilizer can be applied during the growth period to help it grow quickly.

Generally, papaya will grow tender shoots in about half a month. If you place it in a well-lit place, it will grow healthily.
