Provide bright light once seedlings emerge and keep the growing medium evenly moist but not soggy.

Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Set plants in full sun in rich, well-drained soil and water consistently to support steady growth and fruit development. Indeterminate vines benefit from staking or caging to keep fruit off the ground and improve airflow.
