Planting a watermelon in a pot

Planting watermelon in pot is very simple, as easy as planting cucumber or melon, which must be considered is .... Determine the type of watermelon that will be planted, specify the diameter of the pot to be used, determine the best media that is easy to get, find out how to treat watermelon and last determine the appropriate location.

• The right type of watermelon planted in pots is short-lived, looking for small varieties, or medium, if growing large-sized watermelon or giant, you will have difficulty in its care, a small watermelon like this type of inul is the most easily planted in pots. If you want the type of watermelon medium choose the type of fruit fruit range maximum 5-6 kg only. Ideal watermelon species usually have a short life of about 70-80 days only and the required length of the plant is only 1.5 -2 meters range, the rest of the shoots.
• The good diameter of the pot is the big one, hehe. The purpose of the sentence as much as possible is getting bigger then the better. So adjust to the conditions only. The minimum reference for the use of pots is 20cm diameter, or polybag 25 - 30 cm for small watermelon species maximal length of 1.5 meters. The main requirement of the use of minimum size pots is enough watering and must be routine, fertilization should be routine, and pruning branches that are not needed for all to be more efficient. For the minimal ideal is the diameter of 35-40 cm, it is quite loose and the watermelon plant can be optimal.
• The best medium to plant in pots is compost !! The more compost the better, the more food reserves that make the plant fat, the early growth of the vigor can guarantee results in the fertilization period. I myself use 100% compost on pot 20 cm diameter. And on pot 40 cm I use 60% compost and 40% of ordinary soil
• The best location for watermelon is hot and dry, for that locate the most intense location get direct sunlight. The longer the duration of sunlight the better and faster the harvest, but the risk is you have to provide extra watering and fertilizing. Plants are not like humans and animals that have a sense of satiety. As long as there is sunlight and the availability of nutritional water then the plant will continue to eat non-stop. Thus, many long rays and durations are then supported by water and sufficient fertilizer will speed up the harvest. Well, now you know, where you will put your best watermelon plants.
• Care of watermelon plants needs direct learning, but it does not need to worry, because you will understand by itself without much of this theory. The key point is the exploitation of all the new budding sprout points when the plant already has a fruit candidate. For example like this, your plant type inul, long has reached above 1 meter with green leaf and branch about 4 and 1 main stem. Apparently there is a fruit candidate that has begun to enlarge on the main stem or any secondary branch, then start was to remove all the flowers both male and female krn is no longer needed, cut ALL the shoots that permumbuhan felt, any part that has growth potential other than fruit growth, then HABITION, cut and stop its growth. Deng condition of plants that do not grow long or big then all energy will be diverted to fruit growth. In the first week after all the cut will appear significant fruit weight gain. Perform regular watering and fertilizing. Stop the spray in the week before harvesting to increase the level of sweetness significantly.
• Characteristics of watermelon plants ready to harvest, If you often hold watermelon or flip the watermelon then the yellow spot mark on the part that is not exposed to light will be faint to be a clue. The best way to find out the readiness of watermelon fruit you are ready to harvest or not is to see the nearest vine from the position of the fruit stalk. If it has dried at least 50% of the length of tendrils it is ready for harvest, the best is 75% of the nearest vine length of the fruit has dried up, if still fresh green then certainly not too old fruit
