Watermelon hanging cultivation, generally divided into two forms of large frame, small frame. Big frame hanging, using upright trellis, plant all lead tied on the shelf, fruit grows up after the hanging melon; small frame hanging using triangular frame.
Specific erection methods are: large frame hanging vine, with bamboo poles or sticks inserted into upright trellis, frame height of about 2 meters, first inserted a little thicker pole, and then tied 3 to 4 horizontal poles. Each border 2 rows of poles, scaffolding and then tied between the connecting rod fixed.
Small frame, more triangular frame, frame height of about 1.5 meters, the top of the frame every 3 poles tied together. When the melon vines grow to 35 centimeters, began to lead the vines on the shelf; and with fine twine or wet straw will be gently tied to the vines on the shelf pole, after the melon vines every 60 to 70 centimeters long tied 1 time. Triangular small frame will be more main vines around the lead to the frame in a spiral tied vines; side vines are often pressed in turn in the frame between the ground creeping growth. Leave only one main vine per plant, and remove the rest of the lateral vines. Pinch off the top to hold the melon At 6-7 leaves, the first female flower should be removed in time, and remove from the fruiting stem node up to the 13th leaf and above the growth point, only retain the axillary buds on the node of the stem, and remove all the others, and male flowers should also be removed. Remove all female flowers except for the second female flower in the 13th and 14th leaves.
When the melon fruit grows to the size of an egg, the melon vine has climbed all over the shelf to pinch the tip to reduce nutrient consumption. After the melon grows up, with straw rope made of 8 ~ 10 cm in diameter straw circle hold watermelon, the top with 3 thin rope hanging on the shelf. In order to improve the rate of fruiting, insect activity is also required to carry out artificial pollination.
