Plant at a depth of 2.5 cm, spacing the plants 1 to 1.5 m apart in the row, and leaving about 1.5 to 2 m between rows to allow good development of the vines. 'Casperita F1' prefers a fertile, organic-rich, well-drained soil, as well as full sun exposure.
Water regularly and deeply to maintain uniform moisture, especially during flowering and fruit formation. Provide good companion plants such as beans or radishes to promote harmonious growth, and avoid growing it near enemy plants such as potatoes or cabbage.
Harvest when the fruits reach their optimum size and weight, and their white colour is well defined. Perfect for sweet or savoury dishes, 'Casperita F1' is also ideal for creating elegant autumn decorations.
