Selection of soil for balcony potted watermelonNo matter what kind of plants you plant, it is inseparable from the selection or preparation of soil. For potted watermelon, you must first choose a larger flowerpot. Watermelon is a climbing plant and the fruits it produces are relatively large, so a small flowerpot cannot handle a large watermelon. Therefore, when choosing a flowerpot, you must first choose a larger one. Then comes the selection of soil for potted watermelons. The general principle of soil selection is loose and breathable, not compacted. You can dig some soil from the watermelon field, but if the watermelon does not grow well, you can add some organic fertilizer to the soil. If conditions permit, it is best to sterilize and disinfect the soil before planting watermelons to prevent too many pathogens and insect eggs in the soil. Selection of watermelon seeds for balcony potted plantsFirst of all, the seeds of balcony potted watermelons cannot be the seeds that we spit out when eating watermelons. The reason is very simple. Most of the watermelons we usually eat are hybrid watermelons. The seeds of hybrid watermelons cannot produce fruit. Therefore, watermelon seeds must be purchased from special watermelon seeds. In addition, it is best to choose small watermelon seeds when selecting, such as Huang Xiaoyu, etc., because balcony planting is affected by the growth environment, planting large watermelon seeds may not necessarily produce large watermelon fruits. Treatment and sowing of watermelon seeds in balcony potsAfter selecting the watermelon seeds, you need to soak them in clean water. After soaking for about three to four hours, you can take them out and sow them in the flowerpots. After putting them in the flowerpots, remember to sprinkle a layer of soil on top of the seeds. Don't rush to water the watermelon at this time. If you water them at this time, the soil will easily become hardened, making it impossible for the watermelon to sprout. Late maintenance of balcony potted watermelonBe careful not to expose it to the sun. Provide shade when appropriate. Water it with some rice water at the right time. With careful care, you can wait for the watermelons to sprout and bear fruit. |
