Soil: Planting Trichosanthes requires fertile soil, because its growth requires more nutrients, and fertile soil can meet its needs; Watering: If the soil is dry for a long time, it needs to be watered every week Once; Fertilization: Fertilization is required every month during the growth period; Lighting: It is a sun-loving plant, and the lighting time must be at least five hours a day. If it is less than five hours, the growth of the plant will be affected.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Trichosanthes trichosanthes does not have high soil requirements, as long as it meets the two conditions of fertile soil and good drainage. Before planting, you need to mix base fertilizer into the soil, because newly planted plants still have relatively large demand for nutrients, and the nutrients in the soil alone are not enough.

2. Watering: Plants grown in the open field generally do not need watering as long as the climate is normal. However, if the drought lasts for more than one month, the plants need to be watered, otherwise the growth of the plants will be impaired. Will be affected, the best frequency of watering is once a week.

3. Fertilization: In addition to the fertilizer applied before planting, top dressing is also required during the growth period. For fertilizer seeds, you can use fertilizer seeds with relatively mild fertilizer effects, or you can use compound fertilizer seeds, because compound fertilizer seeds have more comprehensive nutrients and can meet the various needs of plants. After the fertilization is completed, it needs to be watered so that the fertilizer can be fully dissolved into the soil for easy absorption by the plants.

4. Light: Plants cannot grow without sunlight. Insufficient light will affect the yield of plants. If conditions permit, it can receive full-day sunlight. If conditions do not exist, the minimum lighting time per day should be five hours.

2. Breeding skills

1. Propagation: Propagation Trichosanthes trichosanthes can be propagated by sowing. Generally, fruits that mature in September and October are selected for storage. In March and April of the next year, the seeds are soaked in warm water for a day and night, and then wet sand is used to accelerate germination. The sowing method is hole planting, with a distance of two meters between each hole. After that, cover it with soil, and the seedlings will usually emerge in half a month.

2. Loose soil: About half a month after planting, you need to dig up the soil mound to check. If the roots have sprouted and the soil is moist, you can level the soil mound to facilitate the emergence of seedlings.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: The pests it is susceptible to include melon silk borer, whose larvae will eat the mesophyll of the plant and spread the disease. To treat melon borer, you can use Green Jiada solution spray.

2. Disease: It is susceptible to anthracnose. The onset of anthracnose is usually in the seedling stage, which will harm the seedlings of the plant. If it is serious, it will affect the yield. Anthrax can be treated by spraying carbendazim wettable powder.

4. Other issues

1. Edible: It is edible.

2. Toxicity: non-toxic and can be used as medicine.
