Method of sowing basil

1. Prepare the soil

Eight-angled melon is suitable for cultivation in loose and hydrophobic soil. When preparing the soil, you can use peat soil mixed with garden soil. This can lock in moisture when precipitation is low and drain moisture when precipitation is high.

2. Sowing and watering

The next step is to bury the eight-angled melon seeds in the prepared soil and water them with a small amount of water to make the soil near the seeds moist, thereby promoting seed germination and rapid growth of young shoots.

Key points and techniques for growing eight-angle melon

1. Lighting

The eight-angled melon is a light-loving plant. The mature plant can directly receive full sunlight, but if it encounters particularly strong light in the early stage, it is still necessary to provide appropriate shading.

2. Moisture

When planting eight-angled melon, if you find seedlings growing, you should reduce the amount of watering to keep the soil at a relatively dry level so that the roots can breathe and stretch normally and avoid waterlogging.
