Step 2: Prepare the soil.
- Choose loose, nutritious soil. The soil for planting yellow papaya seeds should be high, not flooded, and well-drained (if the land is low, mounds must be built); treat the soil before planting yellow papaya seeds by adding lime powder and drying.
Step 3: Sowing the seeds
- Fill the seedling tray with soil and evenly distribute it to ensure proper compaction. Spray a small amount of water to moisten the soil.
- Use your finger to create a hole in the tray, about 1-2 cm deep.
- Place the pre-germinated Yellow avocado papaya seeds into the hole and gently cover them with a layer of fine compost or soil.
- Water the seedling tray gently, ensuring that the entire tray is moistened.
- Create drainage holes at the bottom of the tray to allow for proper water drainage. Place the seedling tray in a well-lit area to stimulate seed germination.
Step 1: Incubate the seeds
- Soak yellow papaya seeds in warm water for 3-4 hours, then incubate the seeds in a damp cloth for 4-5 days, wait for the yellow papaya seeds to crack evenly before sowing. Note to keep the incubator moist regularly, it is best to put the incubator in a plastic bag to retain moisture and warmth to help the seeds germinate quickly.
TIP: Yellow avocado papaya fruit is suitable for planting in warm climates, preferably in tropical, subtropical and warm places such as Asia,Philippines,South America, Australia and New Zealand
Step 4: Care and Harvest
- Keep the plants well-hydrated by regularly watering them. It is recommended to water 2-3 times a week, preferably after 5 PM to avoid affecting the newly sprouted papaya shoots. Use mulch such as straw, compost, or coconut coir to retain moisture.
- Can be harvested after 1.5 - 2 months when the papaya is ripe and reaches a certain size.
