5. Growing your own

You can grow papaya at home from seeds. Wash the seeds, remove the gelatinous coating and keep them wet, pressed in a cotton cloth for two-to-three days. Seeds take two-to-three weeks to germinate at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once you observe a white dot, the seeds are ready to plant. The plants grow well in a 20-to 30-gallon container when placed in the sunniest spot in the home, and near a heating vent in cooler weather.
