Bergamot melons are generally planted before and after the Qingming Festival. If they sprout before that, they need to be kept warm. Because it is afraid of cold, 5-7 ℃ will freeze it, so the temperature is best controlled between 8-10 ℃. Indoor can be placed in anti freezing cartons, buds to face up, cartons can not be closed, so as not to affect its breathing.
As the Bergamot has sprouted, it can be directly seeded without the steps of germination promotion. If we plant the soil, we should first turn the soil deep and sprinkle some farmyard manure as the base fertilizer. If you plant in a pot, you should choose a large pot and mix it with sandy soil and garden soil. Dig a pit on the surface of the soil, bury the melon seeds in the pit and pour a little water
After the budding of bergamot, it is just entering the seedling stage. At this time, it is necessary to keep the temperature between 20-25 ℃, at the same time, give it sufficient light, and ensure good ventilation. Keep 2-3 buds on the vines and remove the rest. Wait until 4 - 5 leaves grow, need to pick the top bud, promote the growth of the lateral buds.
When the Bergamot grows up a little bit, it needs to guide and prune the vines. It has strong climbing ability and grows very fast. When the vines grow to 40 cm, they can be led to trees or walls with bamboo poles or ropes. After that, prune properly, remove the lateral buds at the base, and control its growth direction.
