How to Propagate Water melons?
The primary method to propagate water melons is through seed sowing. Optimal conditions include warm temperatures (70-95°F), full sun exposure, and well-drained, sandy loam soil. Careful consideration should be given to avoiding overwatering and protecting seedlings from pests. Propagation difficulty is moderate due to sensitivity to cold and disease susceptibility. To propagate, follow these steps: 1) Choose a sunny location and prep soil 2) Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 2 feet apart 3) Water gently; maintain moist soil 4) Thin seedlings to 4 feet apart 5) Use row covers to protect young plants.
