• Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep in the soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 12 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart to allow for adequate growth.

Germination:

• Temperature: Maintain soil temperature between 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
• Time: Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

• Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have at least two sets of true leaves and after all danger of frost has passed.
• Spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart to accommodate their growth.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, and increase watering frequency during dry periods.
• Support: Provide a trellis or support structure for the vines to climb. Bitter melon vines benefit from vertical growth, improving air circulation and fruit production.
• Pruning: Pinch off the growing tips once the vine reaches the top of the trellis to encourage lateral branching and increase fruit yield.
