The suitable temperature for its growth and development is 25-30℃, the suitable temperature for seed germination is 28-30℃, the minimum temperature for root growth is between 12-16℃, and temperatures below 20℃ are not conducive to fruit development. The growing period of winter melon is relatively long. It is a short-day crop, but it also requires sufficient light and long days during its growth period.
