Loofah Gourd Seeds - Easy Grow Luffa Sponge Plants for Garden

Loofah Gourd Seeds for Easy Home Growing

Sow these loofah gourd seeds in warmth (65°F+) ½”-¾” deep, 4 weeks before last frost under cover. Plant in a warm, sheltered spot with full sun, good drainage, and sturdy support. Germination takes 18-22 days; remove weaker seedlings as they don't transplant well. Acclimatize outdoors after frost danger passes, spacing 24” apart. Keep moist in summer, stop watering in autumn as fruits mature. Harvest before first frost when gourds turn brown/yellow and dry fully. Break off blossom end cap and pull vascular bundle like a zipper for natural sponge use.
