Description: Product Information:Each order consists of one (1) beautifully rooted Pepino starter plant, grown from cutting, packed in soil, and ready to transplant. Every order is carefully hand packaged and inspected to ensure that you receive the highest quality product. The product in this listing is naturally grown and heirloom variety pepino. We use organic growing practices and never any chemical fertilizers. The mother plants from which our starter plants stem produce consistently large, sweet, and fragrant fruits every year. They taste wonderful and they're nutritious! Plant Background Information:Solanum muricatum, commonly known as Pepino Melon (or Pepino Dulce in Spanish), is a semi-evergreen plant originating from South America. It is a mildly sweet fruit with a taste and fragrance reminiscent of cucumber, pear, honeydew, and cantaloupe. Plant Care Information:Pepino plants grow best in rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Water moderately and grow in medium to full sunlight. If you live in a hot climate zone, it is advisable to plant your pepino in a spot where it will receive afternoon shade and give it extra water in the summer. When fully grown, these plants are very hardy and low maintenance. You may lightly shower your grown plant from above in order to keep the foliage crisp and clean. Other Notes:Plants are natural products, so some variation in appearance is to be expected. We do our best to package our plants securely for shipping, and pack them in soil to maximize freshness. Please unwrap and water your plant as soon as you receive it. In the rare event that your starter plant gets damaged during shipping, please contact us directly for assistance before leaving a complaint. We are here to help and will assist you in any way we can until you are fully satisfied.
