1. Planting time of bitter melon

Bitter melon is planted in large quantities between February and March every spring. It does not require high soil quality and needs to be grown before planting. However, the seeds must be germinated before sowing. When germinating, the bitter melon seeds can be soaked in warm water of more than 50 degrees for half an hour, then taken out and wrapped with gauze, germinated in an environment of about 30 degrees, sprayed with water every day, and sprouted after four or five days.

2. Planting of bitter melon

After the bitter melon seeds germinate, first sow them in the seedbed and cover them with plastic film. When they sprout and grow two or three leaves, transplant them to the field. The row spacing should be about 1.6 meters and the plant spacing should be about 80 centimeters. Apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting.

3. Watering and fertilizing bitter melon

When the bitter melon grows to four or five leaves, it will begin to climb. At this time, you should pay attention to setting up a trellis for the bitter melon. When it starts to bear fruit, you should water it abundantly to keep the field moist. Especially in hot and sunny days, you should water it once in the morning and evening every day. In addition, pay attention to the supply of fertilizer during its fruiting period, and apply top dressing every ten days or so. Planting bitter melon in this way will definitely result in a good harvest and high yield.
