Product Description
The Papaya (Carica papaya) has its origins in the tropical regions of Central America and is now grown all over the world for its exotic looks and tasty fruit.
Care & tips for the Papaya - 180cm
The Papaya is a tropical houseplant that loves warmth, plenty of light and a sheltered spot. Put the plant somewhere warm and avoid draughts or big swings in temperature. With the right care the Papaya grows relatively fast and puts out large, decorative leaves. The Papaya isn't hardy, so it's suitable only as a houseplant or for a warm conservatory.
How much water does the Papaya - 180cm need?
The Papaya likes lightly moist potting soil but won't tolerate wet feet. Let the top layer of soil dry out a little before you water again. During the growing season the plant needs more water than in the winter months.
How much light does the Papaya - 180cm need?
The Papaya likes a very bright spot with plenty of direct sunlight best. The more light it gets, the better it grows and the better its leaves look. A place by a sunny window is therefore ideal. Too little light slows growth down and the leaves may stay smaller.
Is the Papaya - 180cm toxic?
The Papaya is not toxic to pets or children. It's still wise to stop anyone eating large amounts of the leaves or other parts of the plant.
