To accelerate germination, soak the seeds in warm water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing. Plant them roughly 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch deep in sterile, light, well-draining seed-starting mix. Place the setup in a warm, bright area (ideally 24°C to 28°C) and keep the medium damp but never soggy. Under these cozy conditions, your delicate, ultra-productive cucamelon sprouts will eagerly emerge within 7 to 14 days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409467977969,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_ae64f8bb-4313-4cb9-a67d-263347fbe275.webp?v=1784073785","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/cucamelon-mexican-sour-gherkin-melothria-scabra-1000-premium-heirloom-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
