Charentais Melon is a prized French cantaloupe variety known for its small, very sweet, and highly fragrant orange-fleshed fruits. Suitable for home gardens and containers in warm regions of Pakistan, these seeds give excellent flavor when grown with proper warmth and care.

How to Sow

Soak seeds 12–24 hours to improve germination (optional). Start seeds in trays or small pots 2–3 weeks before the last expected cold, or direct sow when soil is warm. Sow seeds about 1–1.5 cm (½ inch) deep. When transplanting, place 2–3 seedlings per mound and thin to the strongest plant.

Sowing Temperature & Season

Ideal germination temperature: 24°C–30°C. In Pakistan, sow late winter to spring (February–April) for summer harvests. In warmer/mild regions a second sowing in July–August can produce autumn fruit if pests and heat are managed.

Soil & Care

Use fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic compost. Maintain soil pH around 6.0–7.5. Provide full sun (6–8 hours daily). Space plants 60–120 cm apart (or one plant per large pot). Water regularly during growth, reduce watering as fruits ripen to concentrate sweetness. Mulch to retain moisture and keep fruit clean. Provide a trellis or support for vining habit if space is limited.

Harvest & Notes

Maturity: 70–90 days after transplanting depending on climate. Harvest when fruits emit a strong melon aroma and the fruit easily detaches (slip) from the vine. Handle gently — Charentais fruits bruise easily but reward with exceptional flavor.
