Planting Method Step 1: Timing. Sow after the last frost in spring. The best soil temperature for germination is 20–30°C. Step 2: Site preparation. Pick a full-sun location with loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Turn over soil and add organic compost. Step 3: Pre-treatment. Soak seeds in warm water for 8–12 hours to soften the seed coat and boost germination. Step 4: Sowing. Plant seeds 2–3cm deep, leave 1.2–1.5m space between each plant. Place 2 seeds per hole. Step 5: Water after sowing. Water gently to keep soil moist, avoid overwatering to prevent seed rot. Step 6: Seedling emergence. Seedlings sprout in 7–10 days. Remove weaker seedlings and keep one strong seedling per hole. Step 7: Vine management. Train and prune vines. Keep 2–3 strong side branches for better fruit development. Hand pollinate female flowers for higher fruit set. Step 8: Harvest. About 90–100 days after sowing. Harvest when the fruit tendril turns dry and the rind shows mature color.
