It is best grown in tropical or semi-tropical climates in rich humus, consistently moist but well-drained organic loams in full sun. Best fruit develops in full sun. Plants tolerate light shade if grown ornamentally indoors instead of for fruit.Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium, copper, and magnesium; and fiber. Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer.

This papaya hybrid will produce fruits that can weigh up to 9 Pounds each.Zones 9-12 In areas with cooler winters, simply bring them indoors as they are Great Houseplants when given enough light.Papaya Germination:1) Mix about 3 1/2 ounces of calcium nitrate in 1 quart of water. Calcium nitrate is available in most garden centers as a fertilizer. This solution helps to decrease germination time, while increasing the total percentage of seeds that successfully germinate. Soak the papaya seeds in the calcium nitrate solution for about 30 minutes. 2) Soak the seeds in hot water at 158 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds; then soak them in distilled water at room temperature for 24 hours to increase the germination rate. 3) Use a well mixed and well draining seed starting soil. Do not start seeds in seedling trays because papayas transplant poorly; 1-gallon containers ensure the plant requires transplanting only once from the container to the ground.4) To ensure successful germination for Papaya seeds, use a heated propagator mat to keep the soil between 80-85 degrees F., and place the containers in a sunny location, or use a grow light. 5) Evenly space two to four seeds in each container and cover the seeds with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of potting mix.6) Keep the soil moist without overwatering. 7) Papaya seeds can germinate in about 2 to 5 weeks with the calcium nitrate treatment. Following these instructions will increase germination rate and speed."Please Contact us First if you need Anything"Germinación de papaya:1) Mezcle aproximadamente 3 1/2 onzas de nitrato de calcio en 1 cuarto de galón de agua. El nitrato de calcio está disponible en la mayoría de los centros de jardinería como fertilizante. Esta solución ayuda a disminuir el tiempo de germinación, al mismo tiempo que aumenta el porcentaje total de semillas que germinan con éxito. Remoje las semillas de papaya en la solución de nitrato de calcio durante aproximadamente 30 minutos.2) Remoje las semillas en agua caliente a 158 grados Fahrenheit durante 15 segundos; luego remójelas en agua destilada a temperatura ambiente durante 24 horas para aumentar la tasa de germinación.3) Use una tierra para sembrar bien mezclada y con buen drenaje. No comience a sembrar las semillas en bandejas de plántulas porque las papayas se trasplantan mal; los recipientes de 1 galón aseguran que la planta requiera un trasplante solo una vez del recipiente al suelo. 4) Para garantizar una germinación exitosa de las semillas de papaya, use una estera de propagación calentada para mantener la tierra a una temperatura de entre 80 y 85 grados F y coloque los recipientes en un lugar soleado o use una luz de cultivo.5) Distribuya de manera uniforme de dos a cuatro semillas en cada recipiente y cúbralas con 1/4 a 1/2 pulgada de mezcla para macetas.6) Mantenga la tierra húmeda sin regar en exceso.7) Las semillas de papaya pueden germinar en aproximadamente 2 a 5 semanas con el tratamiento de nitrato de calcio. Si sigue estas instrucciones, aumentará la tasa y la velocidad de germinación."Comuníquese con nosotros primero si necesita algo"Please Check out our Other Items!Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.
