Suitable planting time of cream pumpkin
The growth of creamy pumpkins needs a warmer environment, which is generally the most suitable for planting in April and May. If pumpkins are planted in greenhouses, the sowing time can be slightly earlier, and autumn sowing can also be carried out in August if the temperature is suitable.
Cultivation methods and key points of cream pumpkin
1, soil: cream pumpkin should not be planted again. The soil planted must be sandy loam, which is more breathable. Before sowing, apply base fertilizer, mainly natural organic fertilizer, and add some compound fertilizer appropriately.
2. Sowing: Before sowing, cream pumpkin seeds need to be placed outside for two days, then soaked in warm water for three hours to accelerate germination. After most of the seeds are exposed, they can be planted in the soil. After sowing, water should be poured once and maintained in a semi-shade.
Points for attention in daily management of cream pumpkin
