It's fun to harvest melons at home. Elon (Cucumis melo) is included in the cucumber-cucumber tribe. Still in the same family as watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber suri. Like other types of cucumbers, melons grow on vines but cannot climb. If not supported, this plant will grow spread over the ground surface.

The ideal place for cultivating melons is in the altitude range of 250-700 meters above sea level. If the height is less than 250 meters, melon plants tend to produce small fruit. Meanwhile, in the highlands with temperatures below 18oC, this plant is difficult to grow.

Melon plants require air humidity levels of 50-70%. The average temperature suitable for melon cultivation is around 25-30oC with rainfall of 1500-2500 mm/year. The quality of melons will be better if there is a significant difference in day and night temperatures.
