Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of giant jubilee watermelon seeds requires attention to specific environmental and care factors. Watermelons thrive in warm climates and prefer a long growing season. Plant your seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached at least 70°F (21°C). In cooler climates, you can start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, transplanting carefully to avoid disturbing the roots.

Watermelons require full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives abundant light throughout the day. The soil should be well-draining, rich in organic matter, and have a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Amend heavy clay soils with compost or sand to improve drainage. Water deeply and consistently, especially when fruits are developing. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases. Reduce watering as the fruits approach maturity to concentrate their sugars and enhance sweetness. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, switching to a higher potassium fertilizer once flowering begins to support fruit development. Keep an eye out for pests like cucumber beetles and squash bugs, and treat with organic pest control methods if necessary. Proper spacing, typically 4-6 feet between plants in rows 6-8 feet apart, ensures adequate air circulation and room for vines to spread, leading to healthier plants and larger fruits.
