🍉This watermelon is a new type of seedless watermelon through selective breeding, with thin skin and sweet and juicy flesh. It gets its name because it is so easy to grow that even a lazy person can successfully grow it. In addition to being low maintenance, lazy watermelons are resistant to pests and diseases, making them an excellent choice for home, orchard, and farm cultivation.
✨Planting season and time
Watermelon is suitable for planting in early spring. The temperature rises in early spring, which is the most suitable planting season. Generally, the best time is from February to April, and it can be harvested after 60-80 days. It happens to be the season when watermelon is needed most in summer.
✨Where to plant watermelon seeds
They grow best in loose, well-drained soil that retains water and is rich in organic matter.
✨How to Grow Watermelon Seeds
Soaking in warm water for 12-24 hours before sowing will greatly improve the germination rate. Plant 5-7 seeds in holes 1 inch deep and about 5 inches wide, spacing each hole 15 inches apart. If you want, you can also pot it directly in a flower pot indoors, and it will still grow well.
✨How to Care for Watermelon Plants
Avoid growing watermelons where nighttime temperatures fall below 32 degrees Fahrenheit; this will cause the fruit to lose flavor. If the temperature exceeds 110 degrees Fahrenheit for several days in a row, the flowers will drop without producing fruit. Watermelons take 55-80 days to harvest. Regular, even watering helps the fruit avoid blossom end rot caused by fluctuations in soil moisture. Companion plants include corn, radishes, beans, nasturtiums, and marigolds. Potatoes are bad companions because they attract many insects that feed on watermelon plants.
✨How to Harvest Watermelons
Stop watering watermelons 10-14 days before the fruit is ready to harvest, which concentrates the sugars in the plant and makes the watermelons sweeter. You may want to place a board under each melon to keep the fruit clean and dry. Watermelons are ready for harvest 60-80 days after sowing.
