Snake Gourd Seeds for Home-Grown Luffa Sponges
Grow your own natural luffa sponges with these premium snake gourd seeds. Soak seeds overnight before planting in warmth (65Β°F+), Β½β-ΒΎβ deep, 4 weeks before last frost. Germination takes 18-22 days. Acclimatize seedlings outdoors after frost danger passes, planting in full sun with sturdy support, 24β apart. Keep moist in summer; stop watering in autumn as fruits mature. Harvest before first frost when gourds turn brown, dry, and feel light. Process by breaking off the blossom end, pulling the vascular bundle to remove the wet white sponge, rinsing in water or bleach solution to whiten. These vigorous vines can reach 20ft, producing heavy fruits ideal for DIY sponges.
