Growing Sandia Shomei

Stake plants early, as the vigorous growth reaches shoulder height by midsummer. Pinch the central shoot when it has several leaf pairs to encourage branching and more stems. Water consistently at soil level to keep foliage dry. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
