What Customers Say

Why Melon Needs Specialized Nutrients

Melons demand specialized nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and micronutrients like boron and zinc to foster healthy vine growth, flower development, and fruit formation.

Watering

Water your melons deeply and consistently, ensuring the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Light

To promote vigorous growth and fruit development, melons should be provided with full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily.

Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil amended with compost to support melons' extensive root systems and nutrient uptake.

Additional Tips

Monitor for pests and diseases regularly; use organic methods like neem oil for effective pest management.
