How to Grow Mango Melon: Start Seeds Indoors: For a head start, sow seeds indoors at least 2 weeks before the last frost in your area.

Transplanting: Once seedlings develop 2-3 mature leaves and the soil temperature has reached at least 60F, transplant them into your garden. Space plants 2 feet apart for optimal growth. ?? Ideal Growing Conditions: Mango Melons thrive in acidic, well-draining soils (pH between 6.0-6.5). Till the soil to a depth of 6 inches and enrich with 2-4 inches of compost for healthy growth. ?? Caring for Your Mango Melon Plants: Water your melons 1-2 inches per week, and add fresh compost monthly to boost plant health. Use a balanced fertilizer (like 5-5-5) every 2-3 weeks for best results. ?? Planting Tip: Lay down black plastic in your garden to retain warmth and protect the plants from pests. During hot weather, cover the plastic with organic mulch to avoid burning the foliage. ?? ? Harvesting Mango Melon: Ready to Harvest in 60-90 Days: The melons will have a strong fragrance, and the stem will easily separate when they are ripe. Avoid damage by placing ripe melons on a flat surface to keep them off the ground. ??
