Item Code : VE-066
Product Description : Snake Gourd
Quantity : +/- 4 seeds
Maturity : 60 days
Make some small holes in the seedling soil and put in 1 to 2 seeds for each hole. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and water twice a day until after germination (8 to 12 days).
When the seedling grows 3 to 4 true leaves, thin out excess seedlings (remove weak seedlings) or transplant, keeping the strongest seedling for each hole. Leave a 30cm gap for each plant and build a trellis to support it.
Top-dress with Baba 532 organic foliage fertiliser weekly. When the plants grow bigger, use Baba 426 organic fruiting fertiliser. Put the fertiliser away from the plant with a 10 to 15cm gap, cover with soil, and water after fertilisation.
The fruit is ready to be harvested when it becomes plump.
Growing Tips:
After blooming, manually pollinate the plant in the morning.
Thin out leaves to ensure ventilation of plants and avoid mealybug attack.
