  • Light

    • Prefers full sun for best flowering and fruiting.

    • Can tolerate light shade but yields are reduced.

    Watering

    • Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit set.

    • Avoid waterlogging — good drainage is essential.

    Soil

    • Thrives in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

    • Slightly acidic to neutral pH is best.

    Feeding

    • Heavy feeder during the growing season.

    • Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly, with extra potassium to encourage flowering and fruit production.

    Growth & Support

    • Vigorous climbing vine that requires a strong trellis, arbor, or fence to support its rapid growth.

    • Regular pruning after harvest helps manage size and stimulates new growth.

    Flowers & Fruit

    • Produces large, showy white flowers with purple filaments, around 5–7 cm in diameter.

    • Flowers give way to round purple fruits, typically 5–8 cm across, with aromatic, tangy-sweet pulp.

    • Fruits ripen in Trinidad’s tropical climate within a few months of flowering, and mature vines can produce generous harvests year after year.

    Maintenance

    • Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

    • Remove dead or tangled growth to keep vines healthy and manageable.

    • Protect young vines from caterpillars and aphids — neem oil works well.
