You can either water the plant directly or pour water around the base of the plant. Make sure to water the plant every day, especially in hot weather.

Conclusion
Pumpkin is a heavy feeder, so you’ll need to make sure it gets enough water. However, too much can be just as detrimental as not enough, because the vines are very sensitive to wet conditions that cause rot. When watering your giant pumpkin plant, keep these few simple guidelines in mind: 1) Ensure the soil is moist at least 6 inches deep throughout the growing season; 2) Do not allow soils around your pumpkins to become dry for extended periods of time. Water when soils show signs of drying; 3) Avoid getting water on the leaves and fruits of the plants during watering cycles.
