1. Temperature: cantaloupe needs relatively high temperature during its growth. The peel of the fruit grown in high temperature environment will be very thin and taste better. Generally, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 25 ℃ and 35 ℃. If the ambient temperature is higher than 40 ℃, it will face the danger of withering. If it is lower than 13 ℃, it will also appear the phenomenon of vapid growth and stagnation.
2. Watering: to replenish water for cantaloupe, we should grasp the method well. During the growth period of seedlings, we don't need too much water. We can apply more water during the flowering period and the vine spreading period, so that we can make the plant grow more vigorously, and reduce it during the fruit ripening period, otherwise the sweetness of the fruit will be reduced.
3. Light: cantaloupe has the highest demand for light. During the general cultivation period, it needs to receive 12 hours of light every day. Strong light will make cantaloupe accumulate sugar, and the fruit will be sweeter. If the light is not enough, the fruit will be light and tasteless, so you should choose the sunny place before planting.
4. Fertilization: when applying fertilizer to cantaloupe, do not apply more nitrogen, which will reduce the sweetness. If it is overused, it will produce some harmful substances. Therefore, during the fruit ripening period, more potassium can be applied, which can make the fruit expand, and the output will increase greatly.
1. Propagation: sowing is the main mode of propagation. Sowing is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing, which can be sown from August to October, or from February to March. But we should pay attention to the distance between the seeds. If it is too dense, we need to pull out some of them when the plants grow out.
2. Pruning: cantaloupe has a strong spread, and its head is cut off from time to time during its growth. When the cane of the plant grows to a certain length, its head is removed, so as to ensure normal fruit production. If not pruned in time, the size of the final melon will be affected.
1. Disease: powdery mildew often occurs, especially in rainy seasons. It is recommended to use wettable powder as early as possible to control it.
2. Insect damage: Noctuidae appears most frequently. It will bite the newly opened flowers and affect the output. It can spray trichlorfon solution to control it.
1. Toxicity: there is no poison, the nutritional value of cantaloupe is very high, it is delicious, sweet and delicious, and it is recommended to plant.
2. Can you raise it at home? No, cantaloupe is generally planted in a large area. The conditions at home cannot meet its normal growth.
