Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.
Scarify seeds (lightly scratch or nick the seed coat) if they are very hard.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
Sow seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in seed-starting mix or directly into the soil.
Space seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart if sowing in containers or rows.
Germination:
Maintain a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after they have at least 2-3 true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
Space plants 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) apart to allow room for growth.
Plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plants to prevent disease.
Pruning: Regularly prune to encourage airflow and prevent disease.
Harvesting: Harvest fruits when they are green and firm. Bitter melons are usually picked when they are 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long.
