How to Plant a Papaya Tree

1. Harvesting seeds

Papaya fruit matures from August to September every year. At this time, you can pick its fresh fruit, cut it, take out its seeds and put them in water. Wash off the remaining pulp and remove the seeds that float to the surface of the water, and place the remaining seeds on the windowsill to dry.

2. Sowing

Choose a place with loose and deep soil that can receive sufficient sunlight. Turn the flower soil and mix a small amount of base fertilizer into it. Then soak the seeds in soda water for about 5-8 hours, take them out and pour them into fine sand and stir them evenly. Afterwards, spread the fine sand with seeds evenly on the surface of the flower soil, and cover it with a thin layer of straw.

3. Waiting for germination

After sowing, check the condition of the soil every few days and water it in time to moisten the soil before it dries out. After about 1-2 months, its young shoots will be able to grow out.

4. Post-maintenance

After budding, keep watered. After it has 2-3 leaves, control the amount of water. Wait until it grows 4 leaves and then apply a thin layer of fertilizer. After it grows 5 leaves, start thinning out the seedlings and remove the seedlings that are not growing well. After that, just carry out normal maintenance.
