Cantaloupe seed germination method

The success of melon germination is closely related to the quality of seeds, so before germination, you need to select seeds, leaving those that are plump and disease-free. If conditions permit, you can also conduct germination tests to see which seeds can maintain a germination rate of more than 90%. If the germination rate is lower than 80%, it is best not to use seeds.

Cantaloupe germination method

To germinate the cantaloupe seeds, they must be soaked in warm water. First, place the seeds in the sun to dry for a day, then put the seeds in 55℃ warm water, stir them manually and slowly for about 15 minutes, then soak them for about 5 hours, finally rub off the gelatinous substance on the surface and rinse them, then wrap them in wet gauze and place them in an environment of 30-32℃ to wait for germination.

Muskmelon seedling planting

Step 1: Choose the sowing time

If the climate environment is not particularly extreme, we generally choose to sow between August and October, because this stage is suitable for the growth and development of melons.

Step 2: Soil selection

Before planting melons, you need to find a piece of land suitable for its growth, preferably fertile and loose soil. Because melons have a well-developed root system and need to absorb a lot of nutrients, the soil fertility must be ensured.

Step 3: Seeding and maintenance

After preparing the above conditions, you can start sowing. After sowing the prepared seeds, if there are no special circumstances, it is generally not recommended to water too frequently, otherwise it will be detrimental to the formation of strong seedlings. In addition, in order to prevent diseases, you can buy some anti-disease sprays and spray them regularly.
