Papaya is a perennial perennial plant, so if you want to continue to grow in the next year, you should leave the seeds. When sowing in winter, it is best to choose ripe and undamaged melons. When the paint skin turns white and green, the longitudinal grooves on it become deeper and deeper, and the pulp becomes hard, which means it will be fully mature. At this time, you can pick melons and seeds and hide them in the sand for the winter.

Do you want to raise bergamot seeds in winter?

Papaya is a perennial climber of Chaenomeles in Cucurbitaceae. Generally, bergamot is a high-yield crop for both vegetable and feed, with strong adaptability, less pests and diseases and labor-saving management. Once planted, you can pick melons continuously 10~20 years, which is also a lazy melon.

You can use shrubs, trees and ditches to build scaffolding for Buddha hands to climb. Generally speaking, if you want papaya to grow in the second year, you need to keep seeds. There are two ways to preserve the seeds of bergamot, one is the seed preservation of old plants, and the other is the seed preservation of melons. Let's take a closer look.

Plant melons and keep seeds.

In autumn, choose bergamot as the main vine, with a pitch of about 150 cm below the ground. When the skin of bergamot turns yellow and smooth, it can be picked and stored in a dry place or in the sand for the winter.

From June 5438 to February, bergamot was wrapped in plastic bags and placed indoors or in a greenhouse at 15~25℃ to accelerate germination. When the melons grow more roots, take them out of plastic bags and plant them in flowerpots, one melon in a pot, and finally plant them in the open space after frost.

Old plants are kept as seeds.

Papaya is a perennial root plant, and new plants can sprout from the old melon in the second year. Generally speaking, in the southern region, old plants are protected from freezing to death in winter.

The method is to pick all the bergamot on the plant after the first frost, regardless of size. Cut off the aboveground part about 10 cm above the ground, and cover the melon with straw. Then cover with a layer of burnt soil or coal ash, and the underground part can safely overwinter.

After the temperature rises in the second year, it will be propagated and cultivated by the method of flourishing branches and leaves, or 2-3 stout stems and vines will be left in the old stems to grow, and the rest will be picked and eaten. In southern China, the life span of a bergamot can reach 30 years, while it usually takes only 3-4 years to make it.
