I get asked all the time if growing cantaloupe in a container is
possible, and let me tell you, it absolutely is possible.

I have several plants in a long flower box. Do I need to separate one plant per pot?
Why my plants have only male flowers? I grow them in pots as well but there is no female flowers
I have 2 of them in a huge pot. They’ve been growing for 2 months & are covered with yellow blooms. I see bees around them. The vines have gone down the sides to the ground crawling everywhere. I removed some yellow leaves this week. I put Miracle Grow plant food on it a couple of times. How long does it take before fruit appears?
Hi Luke, First off — We PLANT,
God GROWS!!
Have you ever planted any thing in 5 hallon buckets? I
have Irish potatoes, Early Girl
tomatoes, Hale's Best canta –
loupe (from a seed package),
Munchers cucumbers ( also
from a seed package), & 3 slips of sweet potatoes, which was given to me, but the kind is unknown. I have a Patio tomato too, but I put her in my mother's silver pot, but both of the tomatoes have Blossom End Rot, BUT — I have gotten 2 small ones from the Patio. I have neen giving them (both)
watered – down milk (2% into
skim). Is there any way I could share my pictures to you to show you?
My cantaloupe leaves are dying in the big container. What fertilizer you use? Can I put 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer? How much & often do I use?
I am growing jumbo cantaloupe in a 10 gallon bag. So far they look to be doing well.
Thank you so much for this video. I am trying cantaloupe in a pot for the first time this year (2020) on my back deck, where I am trellising it along the deck railings. Your video includes several very helpful points and tips! The vines are very long, so I am wondering if I should trim them back to make them more compact the next time around. Meanwhile I will be thrilled to get one or two home-grown babies for a first try.
I'm a 1st timer. I just planted a few days a go. I need to see the next steps after they begin to grow. I know I have to separate them and put them in another pot. But I'm lost after that. Do I put a net on them to grow or something? I'm lost
hah. Funny how societal pressures cause people to say things they don't mean literally: "yes, you can totally grow these in a container"….i would say most of the plant and hopefully its produce (melons) will expand out of the container, thus its not, "totally". Totally, man!
So Luke, where's your discussion on how to cull blossoms so each plant may yield a decent melon? I have volunteer plants in my 36" wide container, which i've allowed 2 or 3 to grow
Can I grow them during the fall ? And how many months does it take from seed to harvest? Thanks…
Thank you! I'm growing seeds right now. I will give away a few plants and keep one for a container.
Could I just use trifecta plus if I'm growing cantaloupe in a container?
Can they produce more fruit after producing its first fruit?
Pots are not created equal. Yet it's being talked about as if they are all the same size LOL
last season I grew cantaloupe in a small pool. it was GREAT!
Do you have tips for fusarium wilt?
What size pot are you using?
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info vedios keep doing what'cha do best God bless ya!.
What size pot is sufficient?
A large growing bag could be the solution. I heard that you can sew them from landscaping material (or ask the producer of such materials what they recommend). There is even a chance to move it (for instance from frost, or they can be covered during the night), one could start out with a cellulose pot and prepare seedlings indoors, I heard they are VERY sensitive to frost, but on the other hand they are also need a long growing season. So one could take advantage of a nice spring but when it gets cold the smaller "pots" are taken indoors and as soon as the frosts are over (late April in many regions in the temperate climate zone, the pot goes into the larger growing bag which is nearby a house or wall (so it will be warmer). it needs a lot of sun to develop the sugar.
What was the fertilizer/nutrients you use/used called?
This is a great info! Now I am going to try it this week end. Thank you so much!
I'm curious what size pot to use. Would an 18" diameter and 10" depth be sufficient?
I have 3 plants in pots right now and can't wait to see how it goes 🙂 this is my first year with them
Thank you so much for this! I have five sprouts in a very small bed I built. Should I cut the ones in the center of the bed to make more room for the plants at each ends of the bed? Or will they grow regardless being clumped together?
How many seeds did you initially plant?
This was very helpful, thanks!
I have 3 fruit growing. They're small and I doubt they're mature yet. Can I move them inside if it gets too cold?
Thanks & very timely. I have one growing in a large pot now. I'm glad you discussed feeding frequency because I wasn't doing this as often. Very helpful
Is it the same for butternut squash as it is for pumpkins ?
