greenhouse and outdoor cultivation

The crop originally comes from Mexico and Central America where it is called Sandiita.

Cultivation is possible in an open greenhouse or tunnel or simply in the open ground, bees and bumblebees must be able to reach the plants because they ensure fertilisation! The plants grow slowly and are resistant to diseases.

Sowing: from the end of April to the end of May in pots or in containers, only plant out in the open ground from the end of May.

Keep a planting distance of 30 centimetres and a row distance of 150 centimetres or transplant into large pots.

When the temperature is high enough (at least 15°C) it is also possible to sow the plants in the open ground from mid-May. Preferably grow along wire mesh, the plants can also be grown lying down (on a grid).
