Vega F1 Papaya Planting and growing tips
- It is easy to grow an ordinary papaya tree from seed.
- Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a premoistened potting mix in a small pot or seedling tray.
- Keep cells moist in partial shade until germination, when they can be moved to full sun exposure.
- Papayas given enough sun will stay under 10 feet tall which makes for sturdy and strong plants that are easy to harvest. Tall thin plants are a symptom of not enough sun.
