Wax gourd is an annual herb, the fruit is very large, generally let it grow on the soil surface, because of the heavy fruit, sowing is mainly in summer, the leaves are large heart-shaped, flowers are monoecious, the whole plant has pink wax, the sowing time in spring is from December to March of the following year, and the sowing time in autumn is from June to July.

In order to obtain high yield of wax gourd, we must apply sufficient base fertilizer and continuous topdressing, so that the root system of seedlings can absorb nutrients quickly and promote growth and development. Topdressing should be in accordance with the needs of the plant. Four points should be paid attention to when topdressing: do not topdressing before heavy rain; do not apply immediately after heavy rain; do not apply nitrogen fertilizer partially, pay attention to the combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Do not pour fertilizer on the head of the plant, otherwise the absorption effect of the plant is poor, waste fertilizer and cause disease.

The sunny weather in the seedling stage should be drenched sooner or later, and when it is cold, irrigated melon vines need more water. In addition to watering every day, border pits should always maintain a water level of 7cm to 10cm in sunny days, and pits should be drained in rainy days; in short, the soil should not be kept wet and dry, and moisture should be controlled 10 days before harvest to facilitate storage. Wax gourd is easy to produce adventitious roots, so attention should be paid to pressing vines. When pressing vines, each vine should be put in a circle around the plant. Every 3-4 days, mud is pressed on the node, only 3-4 places, so that adventitious roots are proliferated on the node. After pressing 15 knots on the border surface, the vine can be introduced to the shed:

Insert the stem to draw the vine: use 3-4 bamboo poles to form a bracket, and a thicker bamboo pole above the horizontal frame connects each bracket for stability: when the melon vine has 16-18 nodes, it can lead to the vine on the shelf, according to the direction of the border, turn counterclockwise around the support to lead the vine on the shed, systematically lead the melon vine to the west, and use its own vine leaves to block the fruit, in order to reduce sunlight and avoid burning wax gourd. Remove the side vine in time: Daqingpi and black wax gourd only leave the main vine, cattle spleen wax gourd can retain the main vine and 1 side vine after going up the shed, and the rest can be removed in time.

Wax gourd is fertilized once every 10 to 15 days, and adequate nutrients are also conducive to the growth of wax gourd in the future. The bud can be seen about 60 to 70 days after sowing. The first flower must be a male flower. If you take a closer look at the two pictures below, it is easy to distinguish the male bud from the female bud. The stem of the male flower is thinner, while the female flower is slightly hypertrophy.
