Whole melon propagation: Select mature melons without frostbite, place them in wet sand, and plant them into the soil after the tops sprout. Propagation by cuttings: Cut a section of stem from a strong plant, dip it in rooting powder and insert it into the substrate, and control the temperature at 25°C. Naked seed propagation: Take out the seeds and peel off the outer skin, put them in warm water to germinate, bury them in the soil and provide appropriate water. Seedlings will grow in one month.

1. Whole melon propagation

This method is to select the melons first. They must be mature and free from frostbite and damage. The best weight of the melons is about 200-300g. . Place it in moist sand to ensure a certain humidity and maintain the temperature at around 15-20°C. Wait about half a month, and the top of it will sprout. Finally, plant the melon into the soil with the sprouting end pointing upwards. It is best to have a certain slope. Just plant it well.

2. Propagation by cuttings

Use To propagate by cuttings, cut the stems from a plant that is strong enough. After cutting, dip some rooting powder in it. Insert the branches into the substrate. If there is a lot of reproduction, there should be a certain distance between each stem, and the substrate should be kept moist at all times. Try to control the temperature at 25°C, and roots may take root within a week.

3. Naked Breeding

Take out the seeds first, peel off the outer skin and keep the inner core of the seeds. If the seeds are shriveled, try not to use them as the germination rate will be very low. Put it into warm water for germination, soak it for about 2 hours, and finally bury it in the soil, maintain a temperature of 20°C, and provide water appropriately. Seedlings will grow in less than a month.
