Squash is a fruit that is flexible. It may be eaten in the time it seems on the vine before the conclusion of the the summer season when the fruit is completely mature and big. The plant stem can increase up to 50- and wants to be supported; fresh fruit that touches the floor will begin to sprout. It can grow nicely locations that have warm to hot summers and it takes a growing period of 120 times between frosts.
Plant chayote within an area of your backyard where you might be in a position to offer a help for the vine and that receives full sunlight. Work in a complete fertilizer as well as organic matter to get a soil that retains moisture but is free and drains properly. The pH should calculate 6.0 to 6.8.
Plant chayote following the last frost day that is expected. Temperatures should be above 65 degrees F. In places where the growing period is shorter in relation to the 120 to 150 times, it held in a warm region of 80 to 85 degrees F and may be started before being transplanted to the floor.
Dig a hole approximately 6- to 8- inches deep, and plant the whole chayote fruit together with the fat end down as well as the fresh fruit angled therefore the stem-end is level with all the surface. If were only available in in a pot, transplant when the threat of of frost has passed. Plants must be spaced. Water frequently, and don’t allow the soil dry.
