Uchiki Kuri Squash

Well-draining loam rich in organic matter, pH 6.0-7.5 preferred for optimal nutrient uptake

Consistent moisture is key; water deeply at the base to avoid foliage wetness and reduce mildew risk

Requires full sun exposure for at least 6 hours daily to ensure fruit development and sweetness

Apply balanced fertilizer every 2 weeks during growth phase, switch to low-nitrogen when flowering starts

Remove damaged or diseased vines promptly; prune suckers if space is limited in container growing
