Growing Kiwano fruit from seeds is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Timing: Wait until all frost danger has passed and temperatures consistently rise above 12 degrees Celsius before sowing Kiwano fruit seeds directly in your garden.
   
   
2. Germination Temperature: The optimum temperature range for germination is between 20-35 degrees Celsius. Ensure that the conditions are suitable for seed germination.
   
   
3. Planting Depth: Plant the Kiwano seeds approximately 2 to 5 cm deep into the soil. Place two to three seeds together in a group, with at least 1 meter of space between each group.
   
   
4. Outdoor Planting: If you've started the seeds indoors, you can transplant them outdoors once they have developed two true leaves. Choose a suitable location in your garden with adequate sunlight and well-drained soil.
   
   
5. Soil Conditions: Kiwano plants prefer fertile soil with good drainage. Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing any weeds or debris hindering growth.
   
   
6. Watering: Provide consistent moisture to the seeds during germination and throughout the plant's growth. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to rotting.
   
   
7. Care and Maintenance: As the plants grow, ensure they receive ample sunlight and water regularly to promote healthy development. Consider providing support, such as trellises or stakes, for the vines to climb.
   
   
8. Harvesting: Kiwano fruit typically takes around 90 to 120 days to mature. Harvest the fruit once it turns orange or golden-yellow, and the spiky skin becomes slightly softer.

CARE AFTER GERMINATION OF KIWANO FRUIT

The soil should be kept slightly moist but not soggy after planting. The seeds may germinate in two to three weeks. You need to provide trellises so that the vine can climb. It would be best to give deep waterings per week and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Kiwano horned fruit is native to hot, dry climates. A USDA plant hardiness zone of 10 and higher is suitable for growing melon.
