Papaya farming in a greenhouse is possible with the right varieties and care. Select compact papaya varieties like Solo, T.R. Hovey, Red Lady, or Honey Dew and provide them with proper environmental conditions. To ensure healthy growth and fruitful harvests, focus on soil quality and the right planting location for papaya trees. Factors like soil composition, drainage capabilities, and pH levels are key.
Growing papaya from seed is an easy way to ensure a year-round supply of papaya from your garden. However, if you have access to a greenhouse or indoor grow lights, you can still grow papayas. Choose a sunny spot in your garden where the plant will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day and prefer well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
Climate suitability is crucial for papaya growth, as they are tropical fruits. Germination begins with ammonium sulfate (20-0-0) and then switches to Peters 15-5-15 Cal-Mg to keep the pH from going to low (optimum pH for papayas is between 6.5 to 7.0). The ideal temperature for papaya growth is 25-30°C, with night temperatures below 12°C during winter potentially affecting plant growth.
Plant papayas in well-draining soil with a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5. If using containers, ensure they have good drainage. A hi-tech greenhouse is most suitable for winter production, while a simple plastic one is suitable for summer production. Cultivation in a greenhouse prevents the incidence of papaya ringspot virus, reduces water consumption, and protects plants from pests.
