Growing Information

These cuttings root best when planted in well-draining cactus or sandy soil and placed in full sun. Moderate watering is recommended, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent rot. The plant’s vining habit means it will need support as it grows. Expect fruit production approximately 1 to 2 years after rooting. This variety is self-pollinating, simplifying fruit set for growers.
