Why Grow Pepino Melon?
The Pepino melon is a fantastic addition to any farm or garden for several reasons:
- High Demand: The Pepino melon is in high demand both locally and internationally, thanks to its refreshing taste and various culinary uses.
- Nutritional Value: This fruit is rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a healthy choice for consumers.
- Fast Growing: Pepino melon plants grow quickly and can produce fruit within a few months of planting, providing a fast return on investment for farmers.

Growing Pepino Melon in Kenya
Pepino melons thrive in Kenya’s warm, temperate climates, making them an ideal crop for many regions in the country. They are relatively easy to grow and can adapt to a range of soil types, as long as the soil is well-drained.
- Climate: Pepino melons grow best in mild, frost-free climates with temperatures ranging between 18°C and 30°C. They can tolerate cooler weather but may need protection from extreme cold.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.5) is ideal for growing Pepino melons. Adding organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure can improve soil fertility and plant health.
- Watering: Consistent watering is crucial for Pepino melon growth. While the plants need plenty of moisture, avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
- Sunlight: Pepino melons require full sun for optimal fruit production, but they can tolerate partial shade. Ensure your plants receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
How to Plant and Care for Pepino Melon Seedlings
- Planting: Dig a hole that’s slightly larger than the seedling’s root ball. Space the seedlings about 1 meter apart to allow for proper growth and airflow. Pepino melons can also be grown in containers for those with limited space.
- Watering: Water the seedlings immediately after planting and maintain regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.
- Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers like compost or well-rotted manure to promote healthy growth. Pepino melons benefit from a balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Pruning: As the plant grows, prune the lower branches to prevent the spread of diseases and pests. Proper pruning also encourages better airflow and improves fruit quality.
- Pest and Disease Control: Pepino melons are generally hardy, but they can be prone to pests like aphids and whiteflies. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, to keep them at bay.
Harvesting Pepino Melons
Pepino melons are typically ready to harvest 3-4 months after planting. The fruit is ripe when it turns a golden-yellow color with purple streaks. Be sure to handle the fruit gently, as Pepino melons bruise easily. Harvested Pepino melons can be stored for several weeks in a cool, dry place.
