1 gillaYessss
1 gillaMay I please see a photo of the whole plant? I have a young one and Iām curious what to expect as far as size.
1 gillaThank you!
1 gillaYouāre welcome. Just make sure you keep training it and that itās on a good and sturdy trellis Good luck!
0 gillningarHow old is the plant itself? I was gifted a tiny one but itās growing surprisingly fast.
0 gillningarItās 2 yrs old. I didnāt pay attention initially and just let it grow. And got nothing. It can produce as early as 1yr. Then someone taught me how to train it: trail it upwards on a trellis, let it umbrella out and cut off small and skinny cuttings. Donāt let too many cuttings grow on the main cuttings, maybe 2-3. Water weekly. Fertilize when it buds with NPK 5-5-5. Watch nightly. It only blooms at night for one night. When that night happens, hand pollinate with a q-tip or paint brush. Then just wait about a month for your fruit. Happy growing!
