Sicyos edulis, commonly known as chayote, is typically harvested when the fruits are mature but still tender, usually around 120 days after planting. The fruits should be picked before they become too hard and fibrous. Harvesting is done by hand, using a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine, ensuring not to damage the plant. It is important to handle the fruits gently to avoid bruising. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruit production. The plant thrives in wet tropical climates, so maintaining adequate moisture levels is crucial for optimal growth and fruit development.Земля
