Papaya Red Lady Seeds - Great For Your Home Garden - 25 Seeds Fruit
Choose a very large 60 x 75 Centimetre size container for growing Papaya in pots, also, ensure there are enough drainage holes in the bottom before planting. A pot that is around 45-57 Centimetres in diameter and 30-38 Centimetres deep should be sufficient.

Once the seedlings germinate sow them directly in a spot as papayas have less success rate when transplanted.

Prepare the ground well before planting. Make a hole in soil that is of the same depth as of rootball of the plant but twice wide. Apply slow release 16-48-0, 18-46-0 or balanced 15-15-15 fertilizer according to the product instruction at the base of the hole, fill it with a thin layer of soil to prevent the plant roots from coming in direct contact with the fertilizer.

The base of each plant should be 1 cm above ground level, to prevent rot at the stem base. After transplanting, a fungicide can be applied to ensure greater protection especially if planting during the rainy season.
