Today's video, I am going to show you how i turn my Pepino Melon or "DULSI" into Dwarf.
As we know, Pepino Melon can grow as Vine so I decided to trimmed them so they can bear fruits even in pots.


The Pepino Melon (Solanum Maritacum) is perennial evergreen shrub grown mainly for its juicy and aromatic fruits.

The plant bears fruits that are bright green or yellow green with some red or purple variegations. The flesh is golden when ripe with a narrow seed cavity.

Pepino melon fruit is entirely edible, it’s very sweet and juicy.

ECOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS
Soils– the plant requires a well-drained deep soil of an optimum PH of 6.5-7.5. It does not tolerate saline soils.
Altitude-Pepino melon is a cool season crop tolerant to conditions areas with an attitude range of 1500-3000 M ASL.
Temperature– for optimal performance, a temperature range of 12°C-24°C is suitable. Production is affected by relatively high temperatures.
Rainfall-the crop does best in regions which receive an annual rainfall of between 800mm-1200mm.

GROWING
Propagation is by seeds or cuttings. The crop is however easily and often propagated from cuttings.

The cutting are planted at a spacing of 3*3 ft.

Cutting should be soaked in OPTIMIZER 20 ml/1l overnight in order to help increase uniformity in rooting as well as break dormancy.
