What kind of environment do papayas need to grow?

Papayas thrive in warm, tropical environments with temperatures between 70°F and 90°F (21°C to 32°C). They require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and benefit from full sunlight for at least six hours a day. Additionally, papayas need consistent moisture, but they are sensitive to waterlogging, so proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
