Hello guys! Anyone who knows this plant, and knows his needs, to tell us a few words, in the first and second years did not make fruit, now it will be the third year, I want to know what it needs to win in the end.

from what can see from the pic, not sure if it is getting full sun. Most cucurbits are sun-worshippers. Most also seem to like drying out in between waterings.

its getting full sun, i forgot to say that now has a lot aphids or blackfly insects, they are under the leaves and dry the leaves, but recently ladybugs larvae appeared and also normals ladybugs, if i use fertilizer to spray will kill them so, at least ladybugs and larvae eating aphids so maybe will try to help the plant who knows, If God wants to help, then good.

bitter the momordica’s might be in leaf, stem, and fruits, they seem to be pest-magnets regardless. Good luck and do keep us posted

Do you have only one plant? You will need a male and a female to get fruit. If your vine is flowering you can determine which you have. The female flowers have what appears to be a miniature fruit behind the flower (as with all cucurbits).

the plant had male and female flowers in the same vine i dont know maybe its hybrid or just a variety, i tried pollination without succes i did pollination in the morning 9:00 and 10 but it does not have high humidity at these hours, i also have cuttings they succed in pots, i will upload photos tomorrow, i will try to pollinate this year early in the morning 5:00 and 6:00 these hours have the highest humidity 74+ sometimes 80+, even if the flowers its a bit close i will slowly open it to do the pollination
