How to Grow Papaya from Seeds

1. Choose Quality Papaya Seeds
Buy high-quality papaya seeds from SeedVanam to ensure healthy growth, strong roots, and high fruit yield.

2. Soil Preparation
Papayas thrive in well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Enrich the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure for better fruiting.

3. Sowing Papaya Seeds

Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 6–12 hours before planting to promote faster germination.
Sow seeds ½ inch deep in pots or seed trays.
Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering.

4. Sunlight & Temperature

Papayas require full sunlight for 6–8 hours a day.
Ideal growing temperature: 25°C–35°C.

5. Transplanting
Once the seedlings reach 6–8 inches, transplant them to larger pots or directly into the ground.
Space the plants about 2–3 feet apart to allow room for the plants to grow.

6. Watering
Papaya plants need regular watering but ensure good drainage. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

7. Fertilization
Papayas grow quickly and benefit from regular feeding with organic compost or a balanced NPK fertilizer. Fertilize every 3–4 weeks for optimal growth.

8. Harvesting
Papayas will start bearing fruit in about 9–12 months. When the papayas turn yellow-orange and emit a sweet aroma, they are ready to harvest.

Care Tips for Papaya Plants

Regularly remove dead leaves to allow for better airflow around the plant.
Keep papaya plants away from frost — they thrive in warm climates.
Use neem oil spray to prevent aphids, mealybugs, and other pests.
Papayas are self-pollinating, but they can benefit from hand-pollination in small garden spaces.
