The temperature at night should also be kept at about 12 degrees. If it is lower than 12 degrees, it will hinder the flower bud differentiation of balsam pear, resulting in a decrease in the rate of blooming and fruiting of balsam pear and uneven growth of balsam pear. While ensuring the temperature in winter, there is also proper ventilation and light transmission to ensure the normal growth of balsam pear.

2. Clear the garden and pick leaves

Reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests and provide a good environment for the growth of balsam pear plants and melons.

3. Water and fertilizer management

When balsam pear is planted in winter, ridge cultivation as far as possible, which can keep balsam pear warm and cover with fine soil film after planting to prevent the air humidity in the shed from being too high. When watering, we should pay attention to the water temperature to prevent the bitter gourd from freezing damage caused by too low water temperature, and mainly drip irrigation with small water, about once every three weeks. When watering, combined with a small amount of compound fertilizer, the fertilizer at this time is mainly to promote the rooting of balsam pear. Increase the soil temperature and promote the growth of new roots. But pay attention to the dosage, not too much, because the temperature of compound fertilizer is low, excessive words can easily lead to bitter gourd frost injury, affecting the growth of balsam pear plants.

4. Disease control

When the temperature is low in winter, the pests are basically overwintering and will not cause harm to the plants. However, if there is no mismanagement, it will still be affected by the disease.
