How to Care for Your Butternut Pumpkin
Watering:
Keep your butternut pumpkin plants well-watered, but be careful not to let them dry out. When watering, avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent disease.
If you’re growing pumpkins in containers, they’ll dry out faster than those in the ground, so keep a close eye on them.
To help the soil hold moisture, add a layer of mulch on top.
Fertilizing:
Feed your plants every two weeks with a slow-release granular fertilizer, like Organic Flower Mate or Soil Mix Booster. This will help your pumpkins grow strong and healthy.
