1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: It likes a warm environment, but the temperature range suitable for its growth is relatively large. Specifically, it is better between thirteen and twenty-eight degrees. Generally speaking, the temperature should not be lower than ten degrees, otherwise the fruits will feel very bad, or even the growth will stop directly. 2. Light: The flying saucer melon has relatively high requirements for sunlight, especially during the flowering and fruiting periods. It can be in a low-light environment for a short period of time, but it cannot be in a lack of sunlight for a long time. Generally speaking, if you are indoors, it is better to place it next to the windowsill. 3. Watering: Saucer melon likes moisture. Not only do you need to water in time to keep the soil moist, but you also need to pay attention to the humidity of the air. Generally, 70 to 80 percent is better, but high humidity is not suitable when the temperature is high, otherwise some diseases will easily occur. 4. Fertilization: Appropriate amount of fertilizer is helpful for yield. If it is planted on a large area, fertilizer can be applied in a concentrated manner. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: It can be done by sowing. Before sowing, they need to be soaked in warm water for eight to ten hours. This is to accelerate germination and make them easier to germinate. Then choose a suitable location and add a certain amount of base fertilizer, usually edible decomposed organic fertilizer. After that, you can start sowing. The best plant spacing is 80 to 100 cm, and the ridge spacing is about 70 cm. 2. Repotting: You can also make it into a potted plant at home and let it bear fruit. At the same time, because its fruit has a peculiar shape, it can also be used for viewing. If you grow it at home, you need to pay attention to changing the pot, which can be done about once every two years. The main requirements for soil are nutrients and drainage. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Disease: The main one is "powdery mildew", which is prone to occur in an environment with very high humidity. Generally speaking, the effect of using oxycarboxin is better. Spray it two or three times continuously with an interval of about one week. 2. Pests: If there are aphids, you can spray them on the leaves to kill them quickly. If there are also "whiteflies", they can be controlled with cypermethrin. IV. Other issues1. Toxicity: Its plant is non-toxic and its fruit is edible. 2. Can it be grown at home? As mentioned above, it can be grown for viewing, so it can be made into a potted plant and placed at home. |
