Tips for an abundant sopropo harvest

Many people ask me how I manage to harvest so many and such large sopropos every year. The secret lies in the soil and ensuring a strong main stem.

I would like to share my tips with you:

  1. Provide a loose and nutritious soil (40% potting compost, 40% soil and 20% worm castings).
  2. During the first month, remove all suckers that grow every 10cm.
  3. If necessary, pollinate by hand the female flowers with the fruit with the male flowers without fruit.
  4. After a month, remove all leaves from the bottom down to a height of 40 to 50 cm.

By following these steps you will enjoy delicious large sopropos.

Good luck this upcoming season!
