Growing Information
Bitter Melon prefers full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Due to its vining nature, provide a trellis or other support to encourage healthy growth. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3-10, it performs best in warmer climates.
