How to Sow Seeds and Care for Big Dragon Watermelon

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant seeds directly into the soil when the temperature has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C). Sow seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and space them about 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart. Water regularly, giving the plants about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season. 

Control pests naturally with methods like handpicking or spraying with a solution of neem oil and water. Train the vines to grow in a trellis or support system to keep the fruit off the ground and prevent rotting. Then the fruits to 1-2 per vine to ensure larger fruit size. Harvest the fruit in late summer when the fruit sounds hollow when tapped, and the stem starts to dry out. Cut the fruit from the vine with a sharp knife or pruners, leaving a short stem attached.
