00:00To grow a watermelon plant and get six or seven big watermelons, you've got to pinch off its
00:05main vine properly. Many people plant watermelons, but they often end up with small or no fruits
00:12because they make mistakes in pruning and fertilizing. Actually, the method is simple
00:17and easy to grasp. Before I share it, make sure to tap the heart on the right and the plus sign
00:23above, or else you might lose track of me after swiping away. When your watermelon plant has grown
00:29seven to ten leaves, count seven leaves from the bottom and prune the tip of the main vine,
00:34leaving two side vines. This reduces nutrient consumption, allowing the side vines to grow
00:40and fruit quickly. When the watermelon reaches the size of a fist, keep around ten leaves and cut
00:47off the tips and forks to redirect nutrients to the developing fruits. This way, your watermelons
00:54will be larger, more plentiful, and sweeter. If you can't remember all this, be sure to like
