1、 Curing method

1. Substrate selection: it's best to use acidic sandy soil with good drainage as its cultivation substrate. Apply plantar fertilizer before planting and crush large soil blocks, which is conducive to increasing its yield. During seedling raising period, a layer of fine soil can be covered on the soil

2. Light management: it likes good sunshine, but it can also be resistant to weak light. It is best to plant in a place facing the sunshine. At ordinary times, the plant should be exposed to the sunshine as much as possible. If the environment is too cloudy, it will affect the growth of melon seedlings and fruits

3. Water management: its root system is relatively developed, with lush branches and leaves, strong water absorption and large transpiration. It needs to be watered thoroughly. In case of dry weather, irrigation should be strengthened. It needs a lot of water in the period of flowering and fruiting, and it should not be given too much water after fruit development

4. Temperature management: it is a temperature loving plant, which can grow well under the temperature of 20 ℃ - 25 ℃. At low temperature, it blooms more, but the fruit rate is low

2、 Breeding skills

1. Breeding method: its breeding method is mainly sowing method. Sowing is best carried out before and after the grain rain season. Full seeds are selected for seedling raising. The seeds are soaked in warm water of about 30 degrees for half a day. After screening the water, they are covered with wet gauze and placed in a warm sunny place. They can germinate in about seven days. Plant the seed buds into the pot, cover it with a layer of fine soil, cover it with transparent film and place it in the sunny position, wait for about seven days to break the soil, and then remove the cover

2. Pruning method: in order not to consume its nutrients excessively, when the vine grows to about one meter, count the top from the bottom to the third and fourth leaves, prune the melon leaves appropriately, and pinch off the bud free sliding strips in time

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. In summer, the leaves should be properly covered to avoid scorching and even withering

2. Diseases: its main diseases are aphids and powdery mildew. At ordinary times, the environment should be ventilated and nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied. Once diseased leaves and plants are found, they should be removed in time

4、 Other issues

1. Placement: the ancients believed that the shape of gourd with large belly and small mouth can absorb the auspicious Qi in the house and restrain the bad Qi field. Therefore, it is best to place it on the nave or hang it under the roof beam
