Step 5: Water and Maintain the Plants
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water near the base of the plants and monitor for pests and diseases. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage foliage instead of pod production.

Choose a sunny location and install a sturdy vertical trellis or pole inside the container. Provide consistent moisture and harvest the pods regularly for productive container gardening.
