Growth Characteristics of Watermelon Red Sweet Potato

The suitable temperature of dried watermelon and sweet potato is about 25 degrees. If the temperature is too low, growth will stagnate or even die. This plant is a short-day plant, so it should receive enough sunlight during the growing period. The water needed by plants should be well grasped, watered more during the growing period, and not watered too much at ordinary times, otherwise it will inhibit the growth of roots. Applying some nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers after plants enter the growth period can increase crop yield.

I. Temperature characteristics

Watermelon red sweet potato is a newly cultivated sweet potato in China. Its growth is slower than that of ordinary varieties, and its growth temperature is strict. The suitable temperature is about 25 degrees. When the temperature is lower than 10, it will stagnate, and when it is lower than 10, it will gradually grow, wither and die.

Second, the lighting characteristics

This plant is a typical short-day plant. When it grows stems and leaves, it should receive enough sunshine. If the sunshine is insufficient, it will affect its growth and reduce its output.

Third, the characteristics of water.

The water needed by plants should be well grasped. Generally speaking, plants can be watered more when they grow vigorously, but not too much at ordinary times, otherwise it will inhibit the growth of roots.

Fourth, nutritional characteristics.

After plants enter the growth period, some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to plants, which can effectively promote the development of plant stems and leaves, but we must grasp the discretion when applying fertilizer. A small amount of phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer can also be added to improve fruit yield.
