Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the hard seed coat and encourage faster germination.
• Alternatively, nick the seed coat slightly with a knife or rub with sandpaper to enhance germination.

Sowing:

• Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in pots or seed trays filled with a seed-starting mix.
• Space the seeds about 2 inches apart.
• Water thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture for successful germination.

Germination:

• Place seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
• Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
• Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged for optimal results.

Transplanting:

• Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have at least two true leaves and after all danger of frost has passed.
• Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days to prepare them for the environment.
• Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart to allow for proper growth.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, and increase frequency during dry periods.
• Support: Bitter melon vines grow vigorously and benefit from trellising or staking, which keeps fruits off the ground and improves air circulation.
• Harvesting:
  • Harvest fruits when they are green and firm, typically 12-16 weeks after planting.
  • Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.

The Bitter Melon - Indian Magara F1 variety thrives in warm, sunny conditions and offers both culinary and medicinal benefits. With a high germination rate and sustainable sourcing, it's a great addition to your garden.
