3. Maintenance methods

1. Growth habits: It likes to grow in a warm and dry environment. It is relatively drought-resistant, but not moisture-resistant or cold-resistant.

2. Soil: It has strong adaptability and low requirements for soil. Growing watermelons in sandy soil with deep soil layer, loose soil and good drainage will help them bloom and bear fruit better.

3. Temperature: The optimum temperature for growth and development is between 24-30 degrees, and the optimum temperature for root growth and development is between 30-32 degrees. During the growth and development process, a larger temperature difference between day and night is required.

4. Watering: Watermelon is drought-tolerant but not moisture-tolerant, and is most afraid of waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. In rainy seasons, drainage is necessary to avoid waterlogging.

5. Light: It is a short-day plant and one of the crops with the strongest light requirements. During the entire growth and development process, sufficient light is required. If the daylight hours are short and there is insufficient sunlight, the plant will grow slowly, and it will not be able to bear fruit in time, and the quality of the fruit will deteriorate.

6. Fertilization: Watermelon has a long growing period and requires a lot of nutrients. At different stages of watermelon growth, the amount of fertilizer required will gradually increase, and the demand for fertilizer content will also be different, so the corresponding fertilizers must be supplemented in a targeted manner.
