Germination in Nursery
Two little round leaves should pop up and grow above the plant pod.
2Initial Growth
Your plant should have two sets of leaves by now and is big enough to absorb nutrients.
3Mid Growth
Your plant is now halfway through its life! It should look bigger and have several sets of leaves. Prune any dead (yellow or brown) leaves.
4Flower
You should see your first flowers form. Once flowers fully open, use a small paint brush to pollinate by going from flower to flower, lightly brushing the center of each.
5Fruit
Your flowers should have transformed into budding fruit. It will look like a bright green ball forming where the flowers once were.
6Harvest
You should now have several fruits, which have turned a solid color. If the top and bottom are not the same color, wait a couple more days before eating.
