Description
Papaya (Carica papaya), also known as the melon tree or papaya tree, is the only species of the plant genus Carica within the melon tree family If you want to plant a papaya, choose a sunny to semi-shady location. In summer, they feel just as at home on balconies and patios as they do in flower beds. Tub plants like to spend the winter in the conservatory at temperatures of 18-25° C. The papaya should then be in a bright position and can also tolerate direct sunlight. In a darker location, temperatures of 10-12° C can be withstood without problems, but growth will then be slower. Temperatures above 15° C are much better for the heat-loving papaya.
