Content: First, remove and destroy and infected plants, detritus and weeds from around the watermelons. Use an insecticidal soap to get rid of the aphids. Mix 2 ½ to 5 tablespoons of soap per gallon of water and apply early in the morning. Take care to spray heavily under the leaves as well as on their surface. Repeat the spraying every 4-7 days until aphid free. Location – Planting watermelons in the wrong soil can also slow their growth. They like sandy loam amended with organic matter and fine sand. Heavy soils are a disaster for growing watermelons. Poor pollination – Pollination also plays a part with watermelons not growing. If weather conditions were unfavorable (too windy, rainy or cold for the bees to be out) at the time of pollination, you may get very few to no watermelons, and they may be excruciatingly small.
