Plant care instruction
- Sowing method: Seeds are sown directly in raised beds or containers during monsoon and summer which is active sowing window for Ridge gourd.
- Growing in container: Use big circular pots or grow bag with 16” diameter and minimum depth of 8-10 inches, take a container of your choice with drainage holes at the bottom, fill the container with proper potting layers and selected growing medium that is 2 part Garden Soil + 1 part Organic Manure Or 1 part Garden Soil + 1 part Coco Peat + 1 part Vermicompost
- Sowing Techniques: Sow 2 seeds at the centre of a pot or on raised beds sow two seeds per spot in a spacing of 2 x 2 ft. Push the seeds a little in soil medium with your fingers & completely cover them with surrounding soil. Water the sown seed bed immediately by a light shower with a watering can.
- Seeds will germinate within the first 6-8 days or so & tiny sprouts will be visible in the sprouting stage and the first two leaves will emerge in the second week of germination. These are false leaves called cotyledons.
- First leaves will emerge above cotyledons at the end of the second week. Seedlings will start growing into a small plant after the second week onwards.
- After the second week, keep only single seedlings at one spot, cut off the weak, small and lagging seedlings with a pair of scissors is the thinning stage.
