Description

For trellis growing, Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) grows well in full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It follows an annual growth cycle with steady early care.

Use the recommended germination range to guide seed starting, and sow at the recommended depth for the crop. Keep the soil consistently moist while seedlings establish, then harvest when the crop reaches the appropriate stage for eating.
