Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and promote quicker germination.

Sowing:

Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix.
Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep in the soil and cover lightly.
Water the soil gently to keep it moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C).
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist during the germination period.
Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks but may take up to a month.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have 3-4 true leaves and are about 6-8 inches tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden.
If planting outdoors, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
Space the plants about 5-6 feet apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Papayas require regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging as it can lead to root rot.
Mulching: Use organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot.
Pruning: Pruning is generally not necessary for dwarf papayas. However, remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain plant health.
Support: Dwarf papayas are generally sturdy, but providing support (stakes or cages) can help if the plants become heavy with fruit.
Harvesting: Papayas typically begin to bear fruit within 6-12 months. The fruit is ready to harvest when it starts to change color from green to yellow. Cut the fruit from the plant with a sharp knife, leaving a small stem attached.

Happy gardening!
