1. Germination period: Germination period mainly refers to the period from the sowing of the gourd to its first leaf.Under suitable conditions such as temperature and moisture, it usually takes about 5 to 7 days.
2. Seedling stage: After the true leaves spread out, they gradually grow up and carry out photosynthesis to provide nutrients for the continued growth of seedlings.The period from the first leaf unfolding to 4-5 leaves unfolding is the seedling stage, and the time is about 25 days.
3. Flowering: It refers to the first female flowers appear, open to the first melon root stage.Generally, it takes about 20-25 days from seedling planting to the first female flower flowering and fruit setting.
4. Fruiting period: Fruiting period is from the first root to the end of the harvest.The surface of the fruit is smooth, green at the beginning and then white or yellow, and the upper part is smaller than the lower part.The fruiting period is usually about 50 days.
1. Soil: growth ability is stronger, the requirement to soil is inferior, general soil can satisfy its to grow a condition.However, the soil with fertile, good drainage and permeability and PH value of about 7 is the most suitable for planting, which is conducive to better growth and yield.
2. Temperature: It likes warm growing environment.When planting, keep the temperature at about 15 degrees as far as possible, which is conducive to rooting and germination, and improve the germination rate and survival rate.During the growth process, keep the temperature around 20 degrees, not too high or too low.
3. Moisture: It has a high demand for water, and it needs to be supplemented with sufficient water in time during the growth process.Especially in the flowering and fruiting period, the demand for water will increase.However, the amount of water should be controlled between harvesting, so as not to reduce the storage resistance of gourd.
4. Illumination: The calabash has a great demand for illumination.When planting, we must choose a place with good light conditions, preferably in an open place.If the family grows gourds, it is better to choose the balcony at home or the top floor with sufficient light for maintenance.
