- When seedlings reach about 4 to 5 inches, apply NPK 20-20-20 every 2 to 3 weeks. Mix 1 teaspoon of fertilizer in 4 liters of water and spray or drench the soil.
- Once stalks begin to develop, switch to NPK 5-15-45 to promote strong growth. Apply every 2 to 3 weeks, using 1 teaspoon in 2 liters for drenching and 1 teaspoon in 4 liters for spraying.
- Adjust fertilizer amounts based on plant needs as necessary.

Pest Control:
- For severe pest issues, mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil in 1 liter of water and apply every 3 days during morning or evening. For ongoing protection, use neem oil every 7 to 10 days.
