Cultivation Methods

Uses in the Garden

Important Pests and Diseases & Control Methods
- Powdery Mildew: This primarily occurs in hot and humid environments and can be prevented through proper ventilation and watering control.
- Aphids: Aphids may appear on the leaves and stems; regularly inspect the leaves and control them using organic insecticides. - Spider Mites: They mainly inhabit the undersides of leaves; remove them by spraying a specialized spider mite insecticide.
