🍐 Pepino Dulce, Melon Pear Seeds (Solanum muricatum) 💰 Price: Package of 5 Seeds | Sweet Fruit with Honeydew-Cucumber Flavor
The Pepino Dulce (Solanum muricatum), also known as the melon pear, is a sweet, refreshing fruit native to the Andean region of South America. It offers a unique flavor that combines the sweetness of honeydew melon with the cool, crisp taste of cucumber. This fruit is sometimes called sweet pepino or pepino melon, despite being only distantly related to melons. It is part of the nightshade family, closely related to tomatoes and eggplants. The Pepino Dulce is a rare delicacy in South American markets, particularly in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile, but is not often found outside of the region due to its fragility during transport. 🍐🌿
Plant Indoors: Start by sowing Pepino Dulce seeds in seed trays filled with a seed-starting mix. 🌱
Plant Depth: Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep for proper germination. 🌿
Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment with a temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C). 🌡️
Watering: Water the soil gently to keep it consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. 💧
Light: Place the seeds in a sunny location, or under grow lights, for 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. ☀️
Climate: The Pepino Dulce grows best in warm climates. For colder regions, it can be cultivated in a greenhouse. 🌞
Support: Use trellises or supports to help the plant grow upright and prevent the weight of the fruit from bending the branches. 🛠️
Pruning: Regular pruning will help the plant stay healthy and encourage more fruit production. ✂️
Weed Control: Keep the area around the young plants free of weeds to prevent competition for nutrients. 🌾
Soil: The plant prefers well-drained, moist soil but is tolerant of various soil types. 🌍
The Pepino Dulce typically bears fruit in 4 to 6 months. The fruit is ready when it turns yellow to purple and has slight wrinkles on its skin. Be sure to handle the fruit with care, as it is fragile and can easily bruise. 🍐💛
