Humidity: It is a plant with high requirements of humidity due to its large leaf surface. Optimum relative humidity of 60-70% during the day and 70-90% during the night.

ā€‹

Soil: Any type of light textured soils, well drained and with high organic matter. It has a moderately salinity tolerance.

 

pH: The optimum level is between 5.5 and 7

ā€‹

Carbon dioxide in greenhouses: Levels of 500 to 900 ppm of CO2 produce an increase in production. 

ā€‹

Climate: If temperatures during the day oscillate between 20°C - 30°C barely have impact on production, although at higher temperature, higher early production. Above 30°C, imbalances that directly affect the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and temperatures are observed. Temperatures below 16°C at night can cause malformations in leaves and fruits.
