The round fruit of watermelon crimson sweet has beautiful dark green coloured stripes on the rind with dark red fruit colour. Crimson sweet is a tender annual that grows on vines that perform best in the summer heat. Watermelon crimson sweet will require plenty of sun and space to grow. On maturity, watermelon crimson sweet will produce fruits weighing 8 to 10 KGs.
Planting instructions
Sow watermelon crimson sweet seeds at a depth of ¼ inches in fertile loamy soil once the soil temperature is above 20℃. It’s best to grow watermelon vines on raised beds with 2-3 vines and at least 6 to 8 feet of space between two plots. In case you are starting your seeds indoors, you can sow them in late March as well. Seeds will start germinating in 8 to 10 days in ideal conditions.
Growing Requirements
watering
Mulched beds will help retain optimum moisture in planting beds. Water the planted area regularly since the soil may get dry relatively quickly due to summer heat. Avoid overhead watering. Holding back on watering when the fruits are about to become ripe help in increasing the sugar content in the watermelon.
pests
Aphids, powdery mildew and cucumber beetles are some of the common pests that can affect your watermelon vines. Use diluted neem spray to get rid of these unwanted pests.
soil
Well-draining fertile loamy soil will be the best to grow watermelon crimson sweet with a pH ranging between 5.5 to 6.5.
spot
Grow watermelon crimson sweet in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day for better fruiting.
temperature
The ideal soil temperature for germination of watermelon crimson sweet seeds ranges between 20 to 25 ℃.
how to harvest
Once the bottom part of the watermelon fruit that is touching the soil surface turns from green to creamy yellow, your watermelon is ready for harvest. Snip watermelon with some part of the stem with a sharp knife. Watermelon crimson sweet will keep for 2-3 weeks.
