Karela or Bitter gourd is a vining plant that grows much like cucumbers or melons in the hot summer sun. White Bitter melon is easily recognized by its bumpy, warty oblong-shaped skin, giving the initial appearance of a malformed white cucumber. Even its flesh can be misleading, bearing a spongy seed cavity looking more similar to that of a cucumber than of a melon. Unlike other melons, Bitter melons do not require peeling.
The fruit’s flesh is pale green to white in color and contains layers of flat white seeds which will turn red as the fruit matures. The bitterness in the melon is about the only flavor that the melon delivers. This bitterness is not a uniform bitterness and can range from fruit to fruit. Generally, the younger the fruit, the more bitter. Large, riper fruit will be more mellow and the flesh will become spongy.

How to sow:
– Bitter gourds require a very hot and humid climate to grow well. Plant bitter gourd seeds in a location that gets 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day.
– Seeds will take 8 to 10 days to germinate in soil temperatures ranging from 15 to 20℃.
– Bitter gourds will take almost 55-60 days to mature.
– Prepare the potting soil prior to planting by adding aged manure or aged compost to the soil.
– Ensure that the soil is well-draining and light for planting.
– While growing bitter gourd vines on the ground, it’s ideal to mulch the soil to prevent the fruits from getting dirty or rotting in moist soil.
