As far as I recall, I began growing Chayote a few months ago. However, my pet rabbits ate some of their leaves and branches, causing a delay in their growth and the development of new leaves and branches.
Last year, I planted three Chayote seeds, but now there are only two left. I discovered that the roots of the plant were spreading rapidly and there wasn't enough soil to sustain all three, so I decided to remove only keep two.
This photo below was taken on March 16, 2022, and it's evident that the Chayote on the right is growing more lushly compared to the one on the left, which is sparser, and the one on the back, which is thin. This is a result of the soil lacking sufficient nutrients and being too compact."
However, my first Chayote plant produced many fruits that I distributed to my friends and neighbors.
In the bottom picture, you can see the most recent photo of my new Chayote. As previously mentioned, its stunted and slow growth is due to my pet rabbits.
Despite its small size or stunted growth, the plant has produced small flowers and fruit. It just needs proper watering and calcium supplementation to support its blooms and fruit development.
Probably in March, its fruits will be big and can be harvested.
Currently, I have many ideas and tasks running through my mind that I would like to pursue, but my limited time and busy work schedule at the office make it challenging to accomplish everything.
