3. Consistent Watering: Water deeply and consistently, especially during flowering and fruit development, to encourage strong and healthy growth.
4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer early in the season, and switch to a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium as the plants begin to flower and produce fruit.
