About Cucamelon Seeds 60 Seed Pack Mexican Sour Gherkin
How to Plant Start the seeds indoors, blunt edge down at a depth of 1/2¡å (1cm) in compost-rich soil. Plan to allow up to 10 days for the seeds to germinate. Once germinated, allow the seedlings to grow lying on their sides. Once the roots and seedling are established, the plants are ready to transfer outdoors or potted in your green house. Plant seedlings at a depth of 3.5¡å (9cm). The cucamelon grows in thin, trailing vines. You can grow the vines on a vertical support, or you can grow them in a 6-8¡å pot and let the vines cascade out as runners. Either way, the vines will flourish and produce fruit. Cucamelon Care Water Roughly 1inch of water per week during the growing season. In extremely hot dry areas, use a good mulch them to help maintain adequate soil moisture. Soil Start seedlings in a compost-rich soil. Cucamelons tubers require good drainage or they¡¯ll rot in the ground. Avoid planting cucamelons in overly wet soils. If your soil is overly wet, you may want add perlite or sand to the soil around cucamelons, to ensure good drainage. Fertilizer Use a fertilizer mix similar to what you¡¯d apply to tomatoes¡ªa light potash mix or liquid tomato fertilizer.
