But there are few very important points that I am going to tell you in this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you follow these points very well then you are definitely going to enjoy home grown pumpkins.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/how-to-grow-pumpkins.jpg\" alt=\"how to grow pumpkins, growing pumpkins, how to grow giant pumpkins, can you grow pumpkin in a pot, \" class=\"wp-image-1963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/how-to-grow-pumpkins.jpg 640w, https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/how-to-grow-pumpkins-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-larger-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Grow_Pumpkins\"><\/span>How To Grow Pumpkins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To grow any plant, you need to know growing season, potting mix, pot selection, and propagation methods. They help you to grow the plant successfully. Most of the people treat every plant with same care. But this will not help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Every plant species have their specific requirements. And In order to grow them very well you need to fulfil those important requirements.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growing_Season\"><\/span>\u092e\u094c\u0938\u092e<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The first and the most important point is growing season. Well most of the new comers in gardening often does this mistake. A plant loves specific environmental conditions to grow. Pumpkins can not tolerate frost. That&#8217;s why avoid growing them during harsh winters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can grow pumpkins in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/hi\/2020\/09\/what-planting-zone-am-i-in-read-or-miss-out.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plant hardiness zones<\/a><\/strong> 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. If the average temperature is around <strong>29<\/strong> to <strong>35 degrees Celsius<\/strong>, then you can start sowing seeds. You can <strong>sow seeds<\/strong> during <strong>early spring season<\/strong> as well as during <strong>late summer season<\/strong>. <br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potting_Mix\"><\/span>\u092e\u093f\u091f\u094d\u091f\u0940 \u0915\u093e \u092e\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0923<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pumpkin plant loves <strong>well drained<\/strong>, <strong>sandy loam<\/strong> soil <strong>rich <\/strong>in <strong>organic matter<\/strong>. If your garden soil is similar then you do not even need to worry about potting mix. Just add enough fertilizers add you are ready to begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But if your soil is heavy or clayey then you definitely need to prepare a good potting mix. Prepare potting mix with <strong>40% garden soil<\/strong> + <strong>20% river sand<\/strong> + <strong>40% any organic compost<\/strong>. You can also mix a handful of neem cake fertilizer for good results.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selection_Of_Pot\"><\/span>\u0917\u092e\u0932\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u091a\u092f\u0928<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I will suggest to select a large gardener pot that has a <strong>capacity of 30 to 60 litres<\/strong> with <strong>depth 2 feet and diameter 2<\/strong> feet. The size of the pot depends on the pumpkin varieties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Smaller varieties need 30 to 40-liter container<\/strong> \u0914\u0930 <strong>large variety need 40 to 60-liter container.<\/strong> Ensure there is a good drainage system with at least 3 to 4 holes at the bottom. Fill the container with potting soil leaving a<strong> 2-inch distance between the soil surface and rim of the container.<\/strong><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Propagation\"><\/span>\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u0947 \u0924\u0930\u0940\u0915\u0947<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can grow <strong>pumpkins<\/strong> from seedlings by purchasing well developed high-quality plants from the nursery or by seed germination. If you want to grow it from seed germination, then you should <strong>purchase good quality seeds<\/strong> from seed sellers or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can also purchase seeds from us. For this purpose you can connect with Agriculture Review on Facebook or Instagram. Send me a message regarding purchasing seed.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Grow_Pumpkin_From_Seeds\"><\/span>How To Grow Pumpkin From Seeds?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To grow pumpkins from seeds, <strong>Soak <\/strong>the <strong>seeds <\/strong>in <strong>water <\/strong>for <strong>2 days before sowing<\/strong>. To sow<strong> pumpkins<\/strong> seeds <strong>make 1-1.5 inch deep holes<\/strong> in the potting mix using your finger or any blunt object. <strong>Sow 3 to 5 seed per pot.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Place <strong>one seed in each hole<\/strong>. Keep in mind to <strong>keep the blunt end of seed towards the base of soil.<\/strong> Cover the holes with loose soil. Water your container well. Keep moderate soil moisture till the germination of seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Near about<strong> 7 to 14 days seed will germinate<\/strong>. When the seedlings have developed about the <strong>3-4 leaf stage<\/strong>. Identify the healthy plant and unhealthy plants. <strong>Thin out<\/strong> unhealthy plants from the pot<strong>.<\/strong> This will help to promote growth of healthy seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can also use germination tray or any other container to germinate pumpkin seeds.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"637\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pumpkin-plant-care.jpg\" alt=\"pumpkin plant care\" class=\"wp-image-1964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pumpkin-plant-care.jpg 637w, https:\/\/agriculturereview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/pumpkin-plant-care-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><figcaption>Pumpkin Plant<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-larger-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pumpkin_Plant_Care\"><\/span>Pumpkin Plant Care<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Once you are successful in germinating pumpkin seeds, then you will need to care for your pumpkin plant. As a gardener you need to be aware about plant sunlight, watering, fertilizers, etc. requirements. This helps to get best results. <br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunlight\"><\/span>\u0938\u0942\u0930\u091c \u0915\u0940 \u0930\u094b\u0936\u0928\u0940<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To get good growth of the pumpkin plant it requires good amount of sunlight. Place your pot in an area where your plant can receive at least <strong>6 to 8 hours<\/strong> of daily direct sunlight. Getting good amount of sunlight will ensure good growth of branches, fruiting and its size. <br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watering\"><\/span>\u092a\u093e\u0928\u0940<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pumpkins require <strong>plenty of water and moist soil<\/strong>, so deep and regular watering is essential. It depends on the climate and size of the plant. When <strong>plants reach 12 inches tall<\/strong>, <strong>mulch the topsoil with chopped straw<\/strong>. Mulching helps in retaining soil moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, also take care of drainage. Waterlogging in the pot can harm your plant.
