2. Space Properly: Space plants 18–24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
3. Water Consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, particularly during flowering and fruiting.
4. Fertilize Lightly: Use an organic fertilizer to support growth but avoid over-fertilizing, as this can result in excessive foliage growth with fewer fruits.
