The size of the pit must be 1 feet in height, depth and width. A mixture containing 5kg cow dung or 5kg wormy compost, 300g bone meal, and 100g neem cake is used as potting mixture. To plant, insert the young plant in the pit and fill the pit with the potting mixture.
To increase the growth of the plant:
	Slurry the roots after 6 months of planting

	Water the plants in summer
	The plants need 25% shade during the growth
	Mulling cow dung with compost will help to avoid horsehair fungus in summer.
