Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Maintain a soil pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and keep the soil consistently moist to prevent common issues like blossom end rot and cracking. While they do not require extensive staking or pruning, some support is beneficial to hold the weight of the fruit.
