Growing Information:

• Planting Instructions:
  • Plant seeds after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C) to promote strong germination.
  • Space seeds 3-5 feet apart to give the melons plenty of room to grow and spread.
  • Plant seeds in well-drained, rich soil with good organic matter, ideally with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8.
• Soil Requirements: Sapomiel melons thrive in loamy, well-draining soil that’s rich in organic material. Melons need plenty of nutrients, so enrich the soil with compost before planting.
• Light Requirements: Full sun is essential for optimal growth, as melons require a lot of sunlight to ripen fully and develop their sweet flavor.
• Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the fruiting phase, but avoid waterlogging as melons are prone to root rot. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
• Temperature: Sapomiel melons flourish in warm temperatures between 75°F and 85°F (24°C - 29°C), so plant them in the heat of summer for the best growth and flavor.

Care Tips:

1. Mulching: Use mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and keep the soil temperature consistent, while also preventing weeds.
2. Support: As melons begin to grow larger, consider using trellises or melon supports to prevent the fruits from touching the ground and potentially rotting.
3. Pollination: Melons are self-pollinating, but if grown in larger groups, they tend to produce more fruit with more consistent results.
4. Pruning: Prune the vines to allow for better air circulation and energy focus on producing fruit rather than excess foliage.

Benefits:

• High Yield: As an F1 hybrid, Sapomiel melons are bred for consistent and abundant fruit production, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
• Great for Summer: Perfect for hot summer days, Sapomiel melons are a hydrating, refreshing snack rich in water content, making them ideal for hydration.
• Versatile Use: Sapomiel melons are incredibly versatile, making them perfect for eating fresh, blending into smoothies, or adding to fruit salads, salsas, and desserts.
