Care and Application Advantages

This package containing 10 seeds is sufficient especially for those who want to do vertical gardening. Bitter melon can also be used to create natural shade in areas with intense sunlight due to its climbing feature. When the plant's branches start to grow, using a suitable support (wire, net, or pole) ensures the fruits grow cleanly without touching the ground.

Storage Conditions

To maintain seed freshness and high germination rate, the package should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight until the planting stage. Seeds protected from humidity continue to maintain their productivity for a long time.
