How to grow Watermelon 'Japanese Cream'
Keep in mind when planting that Japanese Cream is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Japanese Cream requires a soil ph of 6.5 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.
Growing Japanese Cream from seed
Look to ensure a distance 8.12 feet (2.50 metres) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.
Transplanting Japanese Cream
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Japanese Cream is a tender plant.
