Bottle gourds like sunny places, so when growing bottle gourds, you should choose open-air dew, without shade. The basic fertilizer for planting bottle gourd is generally mixed with mature organic fertilizer, calcium superphosphate and three-element compound fertilizer, and cultivated land is used as border.

2. Topdressing

Bottle gourd requirements for water and fertilizer should be moderate, neither too much nor too little, too much water is easy to cause poor growth, while too little water is easy to produce deformed melons, and if there is not enough water, it is easy to produce deformed melons. Generally, after the plant is set, it is necessary to water once to slow down the seedlings, and properly pour a small amount of biogas liquid together.

In order to promote the fruit, before slowing down the seedling to blossom and bear fruit, we should control the amount, loosen the cultivated land and raise the soil temperature.

After the bottle gourd vine is fruited, it should be properly watered and three-element compound fertilizer should be added at the same time. As the fruit becomes more and more, the fruit becomes bigger and bigger.
