breeding method

Sowing: 2-3 seeds per hole, with the tips of seeds facing down, covered with soil for 2-3 cm, watered and permeable, and germinated at 25-30℃ for about 1-2 weeks.

Live broadcast: In the first winter, you can clean the ground, apply sufficient fertilizer, and bury seeds in the second spring in March. Because the seedlings are long and grow fast, they need to be fertilized in April, May and June, so pay attention to watering.

Pumpkin management is relatively extensive, because the root system is developed and the leaves take root between nodes, so we should pay attention to cultivating the soil in order to absorb nutrients. A pumpkin seedling can grow many branches. In order not to make the nutrients too dispersed, it is necessary to cross. One seedling leaves 2-3 main vines, and the terminal buds can be removed according to the soil fertility and the growth of pumpkin seedlings.
