How to Care for the Plant
Water
Regular watering is needed during the hottest days, especially since these will be growing in full sunlight.
Pruning
To encourage healthy, more manageable growth, consider supporting plants with a tomato cage or similar structure. You should also prune your plants occasionally to improve air circulation. This will help prevent powdery mildew and other common squash diseases.
Fertilizer
If you see leaves start to wilt at all, it’s imperative to water slow and deep until they perk back up. You can also choose to add fertilizer every two to three weeks.
