How to Grow Cantaloupe Melons in Containers or Bags at Home

Plant 2-3 seeds per container about 1 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, typically within 5 to 10 days, depending on the temperature and humidity.

Step 5: Thinning Seedlings

Once the seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, thin them out, leaving the strongest plant in each container.

Step 6: Watering and Fertilizing

Water the plants consistently but avoid overwatering. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings. Feed the plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks, following the package instructions.

Step 7: Support and Pruning
