Planting & Growing Tips

Maturity: ~95 days from planting to harvest.
- Planting Time: Sow seeds directly
in warm soil after the last frost. Soil temperature should be at least
70°F (21°C).
- Spacing: Space plants 3–4
feet apart in rows about 6 feet apart to allow vines room to
spread.
- Soil &
Sunlight: Requires well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0–7.5
and full sun exposure (6–8 hours daily).
- Watering: Water deeply
and consistently, especially during fruit development. Avoid watering
foliage to reduce the risk of disease.
- Pollination: Attract bees
or pollinators to your garden to encourage fruit set, as watermelon plants
are pollinator-dependent.
