How long does it take for watermelon seeds to germinate?

The germination time of watermelon is generally similar, but not very obvious. Under natural conditions, it takes 3-5 days to germinate. According to experiments, it has been proved that germination can be better carried out.

Generally, the shell of watermelon seeds is relatively hard and absorbs water relatively slowly. It is necessary to speed up the water absorption rate of the seeds and shorten the germination time of the watermelon. After soaking, germination only takes one day.

Watermelon seed germination time

After the watermelon seeds are planted, they will sprout in 1-3 days. Under the right temperature and humidity environment, the growth environment of about 30° is the most suitable for watermelon sprouting. However, it is necessary to take measures to keep the temperature constant and keep the moisture, so as to make the planted watermelon seedlings sprout quickly and improve the survival rate of the watermelon seedlings.

Management of watermelon seeds after germination

1. After the watermelon seedlings emerge, the daytime temperature needs to be controlled at around 28-32°C, and the nighttime temperature needs to be controlled above 12°C. If the temperature is too high, use ventilation to adjust it and do not water it. Wait until the watermelon seedlings are firmly established before watering them to enable the watermelon seedlings to grow rapidly.

2. After the watermelon seedlings emerge, if there are too many branches, the branches and leaves will be entangled with each other, which may affect the light and make it easy to be infected by pests and diseases. At the same time, it will affect the setting of the watermelons. Therefore, it is necessary to make timely adjustments to improve the light and ventilation conditions, so as to increase the yield of watermelons.
