Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the hard seed coat and encourage faster germination.
Alternatively, nick the seed coat slightly with a knife or rub with sandpaper.
Sowing:

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in pots or seed trays filled with a seed-starting mix.
Space the seeds about 2 inches apart.
Water thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture.
Germination:

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least two true leaves and after all danger of frost has passed.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart.
Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, increasing frequency during dry periods.
Support: Bitter melon vines can grow vigorously and benefit from trellising or staking to keep the fruits off the ground and promote better air circulation.
Harvesting: Harvest fruits when they are green and firm, typically 12-16 weeks after planting. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.
