Last year I bought a papaya plant. I like to shop online looking for exotic plants, something different. I was instantly attracted to the papaya so I bougth it. I like to grow plants which will produce fruit. When the plant arrived at our facility it was incredibly sick. I thought the plant was going to die so I sent it back for a return. The next plant I got looked almost as sick. I figured I will have to try and nurse it back to health or it will just die. Grow it did. I tend to have a problem with neglecting my healthy plants. The plants that have insects or a fungus get a lot of attention from me. My other plants get water and fertilizer now and again. Well I took a look around the greenhouse this week and noticed just how healthy the papaya has become. It has probably grown 4'0" in a year which is absolutely amazing. The trunk is getting quite thick and it looks like a real papaya tree now. Unlike other trees the papaya does not have branches, but rather a set of leaves at the top of the trunk. The leaves are beautifully shaped, with multiple segments. The tree gives a tropical feeling to any room in which it is grown. I have read that the papaya will reach 10’0” so hopefully in the next two years we will start receiving fruit. The tree does not like cold temperatures and should not be in rooms below 55 at the absolute lowest.
