It can grow in any well-drained soil, preferring medium weight sands, silts or clays. Light sandy soils and clays heavy rains should be avoided. It is essential to irrigate if rainfall is poor.

Planting time: Plant in the field from July and August,
temperatures : In places with a slightly cold winter it is advisable cover the plants with a thermal blanket until early spring.

It is not recommended to apply any type of fertilizer on the plantation. , as the plant undergoes great stress at that time and this can harm it.
