Planting Method Step 1: Timing. Sow after all spring frost disappears. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 20–30°C. Step 2: Site preparation. Choose a full sun field with loose, well-drained soil. Till the soil and add organic fertilizer. This variety works well for plots previously planted with watermelons. Step 3: Pre-treatment. Soak seeds in warm water for 8–12 hours to soften seed coat and speed up sprouting. Step 4: Sowing. Plant seeds 2–3cm deep, put 2 seeds in each hole. Keep 1.2–1.5m space between plants. Step 5: Water after sowing. Water gently to keep soil moist, avoid overwatering to prevent seed rot. Step 6: Seedling emergence. Seedlings come out in 7–10 days. Remove weak sprouts, keep one strong seedling per hole. Step 7: Vine management. Prune vines reasonably, retain 2 to 3 strong side branches. Hand-pollinate female flowers to improve fruit setting rate. Step 8: Harvest. Around 90–100 days after sowing. Harvest when the fruit tendril dries up and the rind shows mature dark green color.
Suitable Climate This watermelon prefers warm, sunny growing conditions. The ideal temperature range is 22–32°C. It needs plenty of sunlight. Seedlings cannot survive frost. Waterlogged soil will easily trigger root diseases.
Applications Ideal for large commercial watermelon farms and backyard home gardens. Ripe fruits are consumed fresh as summer sweet melon.
