Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a warm-season fruit grown in temperate and tropical climates. It thrives in well-drained, sandy loam soil with full sunlight and consistent watering. The plant grows as a sprawling vine with large leaves and produces large, round fruits. Key stages include planting seeds, germination, vine growth, flowering, and fruit development. Watermelons are harvested when the fruits are fully mature, indicated by a deep color and a hollow sound when tapped. They are known for their sweet, juicy flesh and high water content, making them popular for refreshing summer snacks and beverages.
