My granddaughter has left a small watermelon plant for me to look after as her mummy can kill plants without even trying. It has two seed leaves and two proper leaves. advice on temp, water potting on etc please.

This will need to be kept very warm and sheltered, possibly keeping it covered with fleece for extra warmth. It's a big plant eventually so you may not get large fruits. Feed once a week and keep well watered. Pot on gradually until it's in as large a pot as you can manage.
