Where does winter melon grow and where does it mainly come from?

Winter melon growth habits

The root system of winter melon is relatively developed. During its growth process, it needs to absorb most of the water in the soil. When its branches and leaves grow lush enough and the fruit is relatively large, the amount of water it consumes will increase relatively. Therefore, winter melon is not drought-resistant during the growth period.

In the growth process of winter melon, it generally takes about 100 days to complete the transition from germination, seedling, vine and flowering to fruiting. In the process of its growth, in addition to the gradual increase in water demand, soil nutrients are also very important for its growth and development, especially the intake of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
