Troubleshooting
Seeds not germinating
Ensure seeds are sown at the correct depth, kept consistently moist, and maintained at an optimal temperature (around 20-25°C). Try using a heated propagator.
Plants are leggy and weak
Provide adequate light during germination and early growth. Ensure seedlings are not overcrowded and are transplanted into suitable pots.
Poor fruit set
Ensure plants are receiving enough sunlight and consistent watering. Pollination might be an issue if grown indoors without adequate air circulation; gently tap flowers or use a small brush.
