πͺ΄π€οΈ How to Grow Cocoa Fruit Plant in Nepal

Growing a Cocoa Fruit Plant in Nepal π³π΅ is easy with proper care and environment. Follow these expert tips from Plant Nepal:
π 1. Light & Location
Cocoa thrives in partial shade β mimic the natural tropical canopy π΄. Too much direct sun can burn leaves, while too little can stunt growth. Ideal for balconies, gardens, or greenhouses with filtered light πΏβοΈ.
π§ 2. Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering may cause root rot π§οΈπ«. Use well-draining soil and water 2β3 times per week depending on the temperature π¦.
π± 3. Soil Mixture
Use a loamy, organic, and well-drained soil enriched with compost or Organic Formula Compost (available at PlantNepal.com).
Maintain a slightly acidic pH (6β6.5) for optimal growth πΎπ.
πΌ 4. Fertilization
Feed your Cocoa plant with organic manure such as:
-
𦴠Bone Meal (for root and pod development)
-
π₯ Peena (Mustard Cake) (for nitrogen and growth boost)
-
πΏ Compost Tea or Vermicompost (for soil health)
Fertilize every 4β6 weeks during active growth πΈ.
πΊ 5. Pollination
Cocoa flowers grow directly on the trunk and branches (a process called cauliflory πΈπ³). They depend on small midges for pollination. If growing indoors, you can gently hand-pollinate using a soft brush π.
π° 6. Harvesting
After flowering, pods mature in 5β6 months π. When ripe, they turn from green to yellow, orange, or red. Cut the pods carefully, open them to reveal the sweet white pulp and cocoa beans inside π°π€. Dry and ferment them to prepare your own cocoa! π«β¨
