How to plant white melon and when is the best time to plant?

Suitable planting time for white melon

White melon likes to grow in a warm environment. It is not cold-resistant and should be planted when the soil temperature is above 15℃.

The most important thing is that we must plant according to its growth habits. The best planting time is after April, so that the white melon can take root and sprout faster. If it is planted too early, it will be difficult for the white melon to germinate.

White melon planting methods and key points

1. Select superior varieties

You should choose high-quality white melon seeds. When transplanting seedlings, you should choose disease-free white melon seedlings. When they bloom, you should choose female flowers with better growth as seed plants. After fruiting, you should choose well-growing fruits as seed melons to lay the foundation for future planting.

2. Water and fertilizer

   After planting the white melon, you need to water the soil once. Make sure it is watered thoroughly and kept moist. Then you can plant the white melon. After planting, you need to cover it with a thin layer of soil so that the white melon will sprout soon. When the seedlings are 2-3 cm, you can thin out and fertilize them appropriately.

Points to note in daily management of white melon

During the growth process of white melon, top dressing should be carried out at the appropriate time. Fertilization should be carried out reasonably according to its different stages and nutrient needs. It is recommended to use some natural organic fertilizers and avoid using chemical fertilizers.

However, before the fruiting occurs, the amount of fertilizer and water needs to be controlled. If the nutrients are rich, it will easily cause the plant to grow wildly and affect the fruit setting rate. You can start increasing the application of fertilizer after the fruit is set, so that the fruit grown will be better.
