To germinate and raise bitter melon seeds, first scald the seeds in warm water at 50-60°C, then soak the seeds for 7-8 hours. After soaking, place them in 30-35°C After germination in a warm environment, the seeds will turn white in about 3-4 days. After germination, sow them into a nutrient bowl and keep them warm and moisturized. After a period of time, they will emerge and grow. Methods for germination and seedling cultivation of bitter melon seeds
1. Soaking seeds
To cultivate bitter melon seed seedlings, you need to soak the seeds first and place them at 50-60℃ Soak and stir in warm water to make the seeds evenly heated. Stir until the water temperature drops to about 30°C, then soak for 7-8 hours to make the seeds absorb enough water. It is best to wash them several times before they are ready for germination.
2. Germination method
Put the soaked bitter melon seeds into a damp cloth and then place them in a warm environment. The temperature needs to be controlled at 30 Between -35℃, the seeds need to be washed every day during this period, so that after about 3-4 days, the seeds will gradually germinate, which means they are ready for germination.
3. Sowing and cultivating seedlings
Bitter melon seeds generally use nutrient bowls to grow seedlings. The nutrient soil is loaded into the nutrient bowl in advance, and then placed on the seedbed, and watered enough to make the seedlings grow. The soil is in a slightly moist state. Then sow the germinated bitter melon seeds into each nutrient pot. Just put one seed into each nutrient pot. After sowing, cover with a thin layer of soil.
4. Maintenance and management
When raising bitter melon seeds, you need to do a good job in maintenance and management. It is best to cover the soil nutrient pot with plastic film, so that It can play the role of heat preservation and moisturizing. It is best to control the temperature between 25-30℃. After the seedlings emerge, remove the plastic film in time and let it have soft light. After a period of time, the bitter melon seedlings will grow up.
