Germination Condition Optimal germination temperature:22‑30°C. Seedlings emerge within 7‑12 days. Keep soil moderately moist, avoid over‑watering.
Daily Maintenance Provide adequate water in vine‑growing phase, cut back watering when fruits ripen. Apply balanced fertilizer for vine growth, switch to potassium‑rich fertilizer once fruits start setting. Remove weeds on time. Watch for melon pests and fungal infections. Harvest when stem tendrils dry out and rind surface turns matte for best‑tasting red flesh.
