Can melons be grown in the south?

Melons can be grown in the south. The soil requirements for melons during planting are not very high, but the temperature requirements are relatively strict. The temperature in the south is relatively warm, which can just meet the temperature required for melon growth, so it is also suitable to grow melons in the south.

The growth of melons requires a temperature difference environment, and the requirements for light during the growth and development period are relatively strict. There are more melons planted in Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi and Hubei. Generally, cantaloupe or Yanliang small melons can be planted in the southern region.

Melon Planting Technology in the South

1. Temperature: Melons will grow faster in an environment above 15 degrees. Generally, the temperature difference between day and night is controlled at around 10-13 degrees, which is most conducive to melon growth.

2. Watering: The leaves of melons are relatively large, so they need more light when growing. You can water them less during the seedling stage, and increase the frequency of watering during the fruiting stage.

3. Light: The normal growth of melon is inseparable from light. During the growth period, it must receive at least 10 hours of light every day, so that the sweetness of the melon will increase.
