Growing Method Step 1: Choose a sunny spot with fertile, loose, well-drained loam soil. Clear weeds and break up large soil clumps. Step 2: Sow seeds in seedling trays indoors, cover lightly with 0.5cm fine soil and mist water gently. Step 3: Keep soil warm and evenly moist, avoid overwatering which easily causes seed rot and seedling disease. Step 4: Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger passes, leaving 60cm spacing between each plant. Step 5: Water regularly and apply potassium-rich fertilizer during flowering and fruiting periods to boost fruit development. Step 6: Set tall stakes or trellises for vine support, prune excess side shoots to improve ventilation and light penetration. Step 7: Harvest fruits once the mottled skin fully turns red and softens slightly for the best sweet flavor.
