Watermelon is a summer fruit commonly found in households for cooling down, with a sweet taste that is loved by many. When planting watermelon, it prefers a dry and warm environment, is not resistant to cold, and can only grow at temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius or even higher. Watermelon has strong adaptability, preferring loose, deep, and well-drained soil. The specific planting methods for watermelon mainly include the following steps.
1. Planting Site - Watermelon has strong adaptability and prefers loose, deep, and well-drained soil. Therefore, when choosing the land for planting, it is necessary to select a place with fertile soil, good irrigation and drainage, and higher terrain. Sandy soil is the best choice. Before planting, it is necessary to clean up weeds and apply a good base fertilizer to prepare conditions for the planting of watermelon.
2. Seed Germination - Before planting watermelon, it is best to do some market research in the local area and select seeds that meet the local market. After purchasing the seeds, soak them in warm water for 12-18 hours, wash them clean, and then place them in a damp towel, keeping the temperature above 20 degrees Celsius to promote seed germination. Once the seeds have germinated, they can be sown.
3. Seedling Raising - Sow the germinated seeds and use a well-built arch shed to protect the seeds breaking through the soil. After the seedlings emerge, reduce ventilation and water appropriately to promote the growth and faster development of the seedlings.
4. Transplanting - When the seedlings grow to 10-15 centimeters, they can be transplanted. When transplanting, holes need to be made in the field, and then the seedlings are transplanted into the field. After transplanting, cover the soil and water a small amount to ensure the healthy growth of the watermelon seedlings.
5. Remove Weeds and Keep Watermelons - At this step, it is necessary to remove the main tendrils on the watermelon vines and also remove small and problematic watermelons to ensure that the remaining watermelons have more space to grow, allowing for better watermelon cultivation.
