Pineapple melon seeds

Cantaloupe melon known as "Pineapple" because of its very sweet taste that approaches the sweetness of pineapple fruit, and also the most distinctive feature of this type of melon is that it is sweet in flavor more than other varieties, and also its outer shell is netted, meaning it is partially covered by a group of thin white cracks that form a net-like pattern. The color of the shell itself is orange and resembles the interior color of pineapple fruit. Scientific name: cantalupensis seeds Other names: yellow watermelon, fquos, kharbuz, goro, cantaloupe. Family: gourd family. Original habitat: India, Afghanistan, Iran. Cultivation and environmental conditions: Soil and fertilizer: Pineapple cantaloupe seeds need non-clay soil because clay soil is heavy and compact. The best type of soil for these seeds is loose, permeable soil that allows air to enter and makes it easy for the plant to grow and for roots to extend deep into the ground in search of water sources. Irrigation method: Generally, the gourd family is very sensitive to drought, so water must be provided regularly. During rainy periods, watering once a day is sufficient because the fruits are water-rich. For this reason, good and continuous watering is required, but without excess. Sun exposure: Pineapple cantaloupe seeds need direct sunlight to grow quickly and at the right time. Therefore, covering the seeds with any type of sunshade should be avoided, allowing sunlight to penetrate the soil so that the seeds can start growing and roots can extend. Planting time: The sowing of pineapple cantaloupe seeds begins from February and continues until May. The direct planting period is from March to June, so the overall period spans four months of the year. Blooming time: Pineapple cantaloupe seeds usually bloom about a week before fruiting, and this also varies depending on the climate where the seeds are grown. Harvesting time: The harvesting period for pineapple cantaloupe fruits starts from July and lasts until October, over a span of 95 days. Flowering: The pineapple cantaloupe plant produces small yellow flowers that tend to be slightly orange in color, with a pleasant fragrance. This does not specifically distinguish this variety of melon, as most other varieties have similar flowers. Benefits of pineapple cantaloupe: It is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin A.
