If you want to grow cantaloupe at home, you should start with soil preparation, seed treatment, sowing method and post-planting maintenance. The soil should be loose and fertile sand, and seeds should be soaked and germinated. Sow it into the soil in April, cover it with water, and remove the diseased seedlings in time.

The method of growing cantaloupe at home is 1. Prepare soil.

Hami melon is different from ordinary plants. This plant is only suitable for growing in a substrate with very good air permeability and fine particles. Therefore, sandy loam soil should generally be selected as planting soil. This kind of soil is loose, fertile and breathable, and will not harden and salinize easily.

2. Seed treatment

Seeds planted without treatment generally cannot survive. To select healthy seeds, soak them in warm water for about 1 1 hour, then take them out and put them on wet paper towels or towels to keep the surrounding environment moist and cool, and use them for sowing after they are exposed and germinated.

3. Sowing technology

April is the best time to sow cantaloupe every year. Dig planting holes with a depth of about 3 cm and a spacing of about 10 cm in the prepared soil, then put the treated seeds into the planting holes in groups of 3, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and thoroughly water them to ensure that the sand is completely wet.

4. Maintenance after planting

After planting is completed, the sand should be sprayed with water or watered regularly to ensure its overall wetness. After the seeds germinate, we should regularly observe the growth of melon seedlings. If there are sick seedlings with poor growth, they should be pulled out and replanted in time to avoid wasting fertility and reducing the quality of seedlings.
