Momordica Charantia

About this item

• SOAK: Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. This will help to soften the seed coat and speed up germination.
• LOCATION: Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Balsam pear prefers warm weather, so make sure to plant it after the last frost of the season.
• SOW: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart in rows that are spaced at least 3 feet apart. Water the seeds gently, taking care not to wash them away.
• GERMINATION: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You should see seedlings sprouting within 7-14 days.
• SUPPORT: Balsam pear can be a vigorous climber, so provide a trellis or other support for the vines to grow on.
