Honey Dew Orange Flesh Melons grow best in warm soil and full sun. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, or start seeds indoors a few weeks before transplanting. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and allow plenty of room for the vines to spread. Keep plants consistently watered during growth and fruit development, reducing watering as the melons approach maturity. Harvest when fruits have developed their mature color and the blossom end has a slight give.

🌱 Can be grown in large containers with adequate space and support.
Pot Size: Large container (10+ gallons recommended). Provide a sturdy trellis if growing vines vertically and support developing fruits.
