Watermelon Vines

Question

How are the vines nourished? How are the additional watermelons nourished? What purpose do the tendrils serve?

Answer 1

Watermelons do best when they are given a slightly higher amount of phosphorus than nitrogen. This helps in the melon fruit development.

The tendrils are there because in its native environment, the vine would climb up objects to get more sun. The tendrils allow it to climb.
