The ideal place for the cultivation of melon fruit should be at an altitude of 250-700 meters above sea level. If the altitude is less than 250 meters, melon plants tend to produce very small fruits. Whereas if the melon fruit is planted in a high plain with a temperature below between 18oC, this plant is difficult to develop properly. For melon planting should require air humidity level between 50-70% this is the right temperature to cultivate melons. Melon fruit quality will be better if there is a difference in temperature day and night is significant.Sehingga melon that we plant will grow with a very large result and also far from pests.
If you want to plant melon fruit, it's good you have to know the type of melon to plant. there are 3 types of melon in general, namely: the type of melon fruit reticalatus, melon inodorus and also type cantalupensis.

For Seedling of melon plants
Melon fruit for cultivation is usually propagated generatively from seeds or also by seed. if you want to grow melon fruit with one hectare of land, it takes about 16,000- 20,000 trees or about 500-700 grams of melon seeds. Before planting the seeds of melon seeds should be added first by soaking the seeds with air sekiar 6 to 8 hours. The goal is to melon before planting contains enough moisture and quick buds. After the seeds are soaked the seeds are drained and spread over wet cloth or wet newspaper. Let this melon seeds for 1-2 days until the seeds shoots. And keep that moisture. When the cloth looks dry immediately splash enough air on the cloth to keep the seed moisture awake.
This is a Cantalupensis melon that has been harvested in the garden that I went to. look at this very fresh and large melon fruit.
And that is the result of my journey to the melon garden that is not far from my house. I hope kalain likes my trip in this melon garden. hopefully my story this can add our insight about the cultivation of melon fruit is good and true.
