Step 5: Thinning Seedlings
Once the seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, thin them out, leaving the strongest plant in each container.
Step 6: Watering and Fertilizing
Water the plants consistently but avoid overwatering. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Feed the plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks, following the package instructions.
Step 7: Support and Pruning
Provide support using stakes or a small trellis to keep the vines and fruit off the ground. Prune the vines by pinching off the growing tips when they have reached an adequate length, to encourage lateral growth and more fruit production.
Step 8: Pollination
Cantaloupes have both male and female flowers on the same plant. If you don’t have enough bees or pollinators around, you can hand-pollinate by transferring the pollen from a male flower to a female flower using a small paintbrush or cotton swab.
Step 9: Monitor for Pests and Diseases
Regularly check the plants for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and squash bugs. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control infestations. Prevent fungal diseases by watering at the base of the plant and keeping the foliage dry.
