Wrinkled papaya has strong adaptability and is not very demanding on soil, but it is best planted in soil with good drainage, fertile texture and humus.

2. Fertilization:

Wrinkled papaya has a strong demand for fertilizer. Organic fertilizer needs to be applied when it sprouts in spring; compound fertilizer needs to be added during the summer growing season; topdressing is needed when the leaves fall in autumn, and sufficient decomposed cake fertilizer should be applied in winter.

3. Watering:

Water the wrinkled papaya in moderation to ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. Do not water it too much, otherwise water will accumulate and the roots will easily rot. Adequate water should be ensured during the flowering and growing period.

4. Lighting:

Wrinkled papaya needs sufficient light to grow and prefers a sunny environment. It should be placed in an open area with plenty of sunlight, and should be shaded in time during the hot summer.

The main disease of wrinkled papaya is rust, which will cause a large number of leaves of wrinkled papaya flowers to fall off, affecting its growth. Bordeaux mixture, carbendazim and other agents can be sprayed to prevent and control rust.

The main pests are the pear-crowned bug and the peach aphid, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and wither, and cause the leaves to curl. You can use chemical agents such as dichlorvos solution, cypermethrin emulsion solution, etc. to spray for prevention and control.
