Cultivation

Take the plant from the protective cup and plant it in a container that is filled with a mixture of 80% cocopeat and 20% perlite. To support the plant it is recommended to place a screen or tube netting. Do not expose the plant to full sunlight yet.

When the plant is used to its new climate it should display new growth. Place it in a location where it receives plenty sunlight, such as a widowsill or sunny spot in the garden. Bring the plant indoors during the winter.

Use a growing medium that consists of 80% cocopeat and 20% perlite. Fertilize lightly on a weekly base, preferably pH 5.5 - 6.5. Make sure the soil is not constantly wet, allow soil to become moderately dry before watering.
Harvesting: The seed pods should be harvested when thoroughly dry.
