How to Germinate Watermelon Sugar Baby

How to Germinate Watermelon Sugar Baby (Citrullus lanatus)
  • Sow Watermelon Sugar Baby seeds directly outdoors in late spring, once the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
  • Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them 3-4 feet apart in rows that are 5-6 feet apart.
  • If starting indoors, plant seeds 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in small pots, and transplant them outdoors when the soil is warm.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-95°F (21-35°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 5-10 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging to prevent seed rot.

Additional Tips
  • Watermelon Sugar Baby prefers full sun and well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil. Amend soil with compost before planting.
  • Water deeply and consistently, especially during dry periods, to support healthy growth and fruit development.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and control weeds.
  • Once vines begin to run, reduce watering to prevent the fruit from becoming waterlogged, which can affect its sweetness.
  • Harvest when the tendril closest to the fruit turns brown and the underside of the melon changes to a yellowish color.
