Place the pot in a very sunny location (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
💧 Step 4: Maintenance
Water regularly: the papaya tree likes moisture, but be careful not to drown the roots.
After 3 to 4 weeks, keep the most vigorous seedling and remove the others.
Add a little natural fertilizer (compost, banana peel infusion) every 2 to 3 weeks to stimulate growth.
🥭 Step 5: Harvesting
In a pot, a papaya tree can begin producing fruit after 8 to 10 months if conditions are ideal.
The fruit ripens directly on the tree; you can pick it when it turns yellow and slightly soft to the touch.
✅ Result: even without a garden, you can enjoy your own fresh papayas directly from your balcony or terrace! 🌞
