How to Germinate Pumpkin Cinderella

How to Germinate Pumpkin Cinderella (Cucurbita pepo)

  • Sow Cinderella pumpkin seeds directly outdoors in late spring when the soil temperature has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in individual pots.
  • Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 4-6 feet apart in rows that are 6-10 feet apart.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-90°F (21-32°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
  • Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves, thin them to the healthiest plants to allow enough space for growth.

Additional Tips

  • Pumpkin Cinderella prefers full sun and rich, well-draining soil amended with compost or organic matter.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruit set, but avoid wetting the foliage to reduce disease risk.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and control weeds.
  • Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer when the vines begin to spread and again when flowers start to bloom for the best fruit production.
  • Harvest pumpkins when they have reached their mature color and the skin is hard, cutting the stem with a sharp knife, leaving a few inches of stem attached to prolong storage.
