Squash plants require specialized nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) to support robust vine growth, flower development, and fruit production.

Watering

Water squash consistently, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged to promote healthy growth.

Light

Provide squash plants with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal photosynthesis and fruit development.

Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil amended with compost to support squash plants' vigorous root growth and nutrient uptake.

Additional Tips

Regularly prune squash vines to encourage airflow and reduce the risk of diseases like powdery mildew.
