Since these are vigorous, tall-growing vines, space them at least 2 to 3 feet apart to ensure proper airflow. Good spacing helps prevent fungal issues and allows the plant to focus its energy on fruit production.

While they can be grown in containers, you will need a very large pot—at least 5 to 7 gallons—with excellent drainage. Given their 8-foot mature height, you must also use a heavy-duty cage or support system to keep the container from tipping over.
