- Soil requirements: Watermelon seeds prefer well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Watermelons require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Watermelon plants need consistent watering, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as the fruit matures to prevent splitting.
- Planting season: The best time to plant watermelon seeds is in the late spring to early summer when the soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant watermelon seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 3-4 feet apart in rows that are 6-8 feet apart to allow ample room for the vines to spread.
- Germination time: Watermelon seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Watermelons generally take about 70-90 days to reach maturity after planting, depending on the variety.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest watermelons is when the fruit has reached full size, the skin color has dulled, and the tendril closest to the fruit has turned brown and dried up. Harvest in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the watermelon from the vine, leaving about 2 inches of stem attached. Store harvested watermelons in a cool, dry place. Avoid dropping or bruising the fruit to maintain its quality.
