देखभाल के निर्देश
Caring for Theobroma cacao involves providing it with bright, indirect light and maintaining a warm, humid environment. The plant prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.कटाई
Theobroma cacao, commonly known as the cacao tree, requires careful attention during harvest. The pods should be harvested when they turn a yellow or orange color, which typically occurs about 5-6 months after flowering. Harvesting is done by cutting the pods from the tree using a sharp knife or machete to avoid damaging the tree. The pods are then opened to extract the beans, which are fermented and dried before further processing. It is important to handle the pods and beans gently to maintain quality.मिट्टी
Theobroma cacao prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture. A soil mix that includes organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, as this can harm the roots.उर्वरक
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every few weeks during the growing season to support its nutrient needs. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can damage the plant.पुनःरोपण
Repot Theobroma cacao every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Carefully transfer the plant to the new pot, ensuring the root ball remains intact.प्रचार
