Plant Height, Span, and Seed Sowing Depth

• Height: 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters), depending on growing conditions and support.
• Span: 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) wide.
• Seed Sowing Depth: ¼ to ½ inch (0.6 to 1.3 cm) deep in soil or seed-starting mix.

Plant Spacing (in Inches or Feet): Plants should be spaced 18 to 24 inches (1.5 to 2 feet) apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Row Spacing (in Inches or Feet): Rows should be spaced 36 to 48 inches (3 to 4 feet) apart to facilitate access and ensure adequate sunlight exposure.

Trellis or Physical Support Requirement

Water Requirement and Watering Intervals

• Water Requirement: Approximately 1 to 2 liters per plant per watering, depending on size and climate.
• Watering Intervals: Every 2-3 days for small plants (up to 2 feet tall); daily or every other day for mature plants (over 3 feet), ensuring soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Essential Nutrients and Organic Fertilizers
