Pumpkin vines can't grow without light, but sometimes we plant pumpkins in the wrong place, which will lead pumpkins to grow in search of enough light. The pumpkin itself does not have enough light, so it can't carry out a series of vegetative growth naturally. This pumpkin is a light-loving crop, and insufficient light is not only bad for pumpkin to set fruit, but also will cause vines to grow in vain. By building a melon shed, we can enhance the light duration and growth space of pumpkins. In this way, it is beneficial to pollination and fertilization of pumpkin.
capping and scaffolding. When the pumpkin vine grows to about 2 meters, you can consider capping the main vine, that is, removing the growing points on the main vine of pumpkin, and 3 to 4 branches will grow on the main vine in a few days. When the branches grow more than 2 meters, my family grows pumpkins. My mother first finds a place in the vegetable garden and sows some pumpkin seeds. It can be transplanted after the buds grow to three or four real leaves. Transplanting pumpkins is also flexible, just put them on the edge of the field or in the corner of the vegetable garden.
Pumpkin is a light-loving crop, and light plays an important role in the growth and development of pumpkin. If the pumpkin seedling is planted in a sunny place, its leaf color is green, and the fiber on the stem is rough and tough. After the pumpkin on the female flower is planted, it should be watered enough every morning or evening. When the seedling survives, the watering frequency should be reduced appropriately, as long as the root soil is kept moist. By the time the pumpkin stretches, its root system is stronger and stronger, and its water absorption capacity is stronger.
In winter, the intensity of light becomes weaker and the duration of light becomes shorter. In addition, there are still long rainy days in some areas. The pumpkin plant itself has a characteristic of longing for the sun. Without the sun, it will grow up desperately in search of the sun, which will make the vegetative growth of pumpkin seedlings far greater than the reproductive growth, delay the flower bud differentiation in pumpkin flowers, and even prevent the flower bud differentiation, resulting in less pumpkin flowers. Even if there are more pumpkin flowers.
