Wax gourd is cultivated in all parts of our country. It is a kind of green vegetable. It can also be processed into candy. Fruits and seeds have medicinal effects. So, what are the planting methods of wax gourd? Let's get to know it together.

1. Land selection and preparation

Wax gourd cultivation will generally choose in the drainage and irrigation is better soil loose and fertile land, wax gourd requirements for water is relatively strict, too much water will lead to plague or symptoms of poor development of wax gourd, when selecting melon land should be careful not to choose any melon crops in the previous years of land, when preparing the soil to make a good ditch for drainage and irrigation, and pay attention to sprinkle a layer of farm manure as the base fertilizer.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Wax gourd is sown by direct seeding and transplanting. Direct seeding means that the seeds are sown with three to five seeds in each hole at an interval of 30 to 50 centimeters, and then covered with a thin layer of fine soil to cover the seeds. If transplanting is used, seedlings should be raised first, and then planted at intervals of five to ten centimeters after seed germination.

3. Field management

If it is live broadcast, you need to see where there are seedlings, and if there is a seedling, you need to replenish it in time. If it is transplanting, it should be watered every three days until it grows new roots and leaves. When the seedling grows to 20 to 30 centimeters long, you can consider that if the land area is relatively wide, let it crawl along the ground directly. But if the land is not particularly rich, it needs to be built, and then manually put the seedlings on the shelf, let them grow along the shelf, and this can also avoid a lot of diseases.

4. Fertilizer and water management

The management of fertilizer and water at the seedling stage is also troublesome. Generally speaking, three times of fertilization are needed during the growth of wax gourd. The first fertilization is usually after planting. At this time, in order to speed up the growth of melon seedlings, the second fertilization is when the seedlings begin to blossom to a certain extent, and the third fertilization is carried out more than ten days later, which can promote the growth of wax gourd. Of course, the amount of fertilizer used each time is not too much. Otherwise, it will cause the melon seedlings to grow all the time without bearing melons.

5. Timely harvest

If you want to eat small wax gourd, you can eat it when the wax gourd is about two fists big, of course, you can wait until it grows up, and the slight yellow aging of the leaves on the vine also means that the wax gourd is ripe and can be harvested. Do not wait until it is too late, because then the melon may be old or bad, and the taste of the wax gourd is not very delicious.
