So it is anybody&#8217;s guess on why I chose to spread it like this, on a mango plant with hardly any leaves.

The simple reason why I am planning such a special method is just because I have no space to spread a pumpkin plant at home otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually pumpkin plants spread along the ground on fields in which they are grown.
