Select a Suitable LocationSunlight: Papayas thrive in full sun, so choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. A sandy loam with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5 is ideal.3. Prepare the SoilClear the area of weeds and debris.Loosen the soil to about 12 inches deep.Mix in organic matter, such as compost, to enhance soil fertility.4. Planting Seeds or SeedlingsSeeds: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 3-5 feet apart. Water them gently.Seedlings: If using seedlings, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and place the plant in, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.5. WateringWater the plants regularly, especially in dry spells. Papayas like consistent moisture but dislike waterlogged soil.6.
