Growing tips

Provide a trellis for straight, clean fruits. Harvest tender fruits 50-60 days after sowing while still pale and firm, and keep picking to prolong yield.</p>

Frequently asked questions

When should I sow long melon seeds in India?
Sow from February to April for the main summer crop; in warmer regions a second sowing in June with the early monsoon also works well.
Can I grow long melon in a pot on my terrace?
Yes. Use a deep 18-20 inch pot with rich, well-drained soil and a sturdy trellis so the vine climbs and the fruits hang straight and clean.
