Ivanka Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi, I need some help sexing cantaloupe flowers, I suspect so far my flowers are all male, but I can't find good reference pictures online. Can anyone help? These are indoor plants so I'll need to manually pollinate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soidog2 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The clue is in the flower stem. Males will have a thin elongated stem while females will have a shorter stem that ls slightly swollen with what will become the cantaloupe if the flower is pollinated. best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanka Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Can finally see the difference now that I have a female. Male on the right and female yet to open on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
