Common problems and solutions of golden fruit (Solanum ovata)

What to do if golden fruit cracks

During the cultivation period, golden fruit sometimes cracks.

During the growth period of the golden fruit, the fruit continues to mature over time. During this period, sometimes due to drastic changes in soil and water, the golden fruit will experience more fruit cracking.

If the golden fruit cracks, it will affect the viewing and harvest of the fruit. Therefore, during the cultivation process, you need to pay attention to the watering of the golden fruit. Reasonable watering can reduce the frequency of fruit cracking. In addition, it can also be harvested earlier.

What to do if the golden fruit flesh turns brown

The flesh of the golden fruit turns brown, and there is nothing unusual about the appearance, but the flesh has turned brown and appears water-stained.

The browning of golden fruit flesh usually occurs in the hot summer. Generally, the thinner the skin, the more likely it is to brown.

Currently, new cultivation methods are being explored to solve the browning phenomenon of fruit flesh.

Golden fruit sunburn phenomenon

When golden fruit is exposed to strong direct sunlight, it will suffer from sunburn. Generally, if sunburn occurs, you can put a white bag on the golden fruit to prevent it.

How to dwarf and thin out the golden fruit

When growing golden fruit, dwarfing and thinning the fruit is very important. When the golden fruit grows to about 50cm, you can pick off the top bud, and the plant will stop growing and start growing side branches. When the side branches grow to a certain height, you can spray some paclobutrazol to inhibit the height.

When there are too many golden fruits, thinning is needed to make the golden fruits bigger. You also need to set up a support to prevent the plant from falling over.
