White Skin Bitter Gourd 10 Seeds

How to Grow White Skin Bitter Gourd (White Bitter Melon) Seeds:
White Skin Bitter Gourd is a heat-loving vine that grows best in warm weather and full sun. Sow seeds when temperatures stay consistently above about 20–22°C (68–72°F); in tropical climates you can sow most of the year, but best results come in the warm, drier season. For faster germination, soak seeds in warm water for 6–12 hours before planting. Direct sow 2–3 cm (about 1 in) deep in well-drained, fertile soil, spacing 45–60 cm (18–24 in) apart, or start in pots and transplant carefully once seedlings have 3–4 true leaves. Install a trellis, net, or fence early—vines climb fast and need support. Keep soil evenly moist until sprouting, which usually takes 7–14 days in warm soil.

How to Care for White Skin Bitter Gourd:
Water deeply and regularly; bitter gourd likes steady moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting, but avoid waterlogging. Mulch helps keep roots cool and reduces drying. Feed every 2–3 weeks with compost tea or a balanced vegetable fertilizer; once flowering starts, switch to a bloom/fruit-leaning feed (lower nitrogen, higher potassium) to boost yield. Guide vines onto the trellis and pinch off the growing tip when the vine reaches the top to encourage side shoots and more female flowers. Watch for pests like aphids, whiteflies, fruit flies, and powdery mildew—good airflow, clean watering at soil level, and early treatment with neem/insecticidal soap help a lot. Harvest fruits young while skin is smooth and pale white (usually 12–18 cm long); picking often encourages the plant to keep producing.
