Luffa ACUTANGULA

Sowing and germination

seeds should be sown in holes 40X40 cm in size and 25-30 cm deep, half filled with manure. Luffa has a very long growing season, so it must be grown in seedlings. Luffa seeds are sown in early April and pots, just like cucumber seeds. They are very hard, covered with a thick shell and require heating for a whole week at a temperature of about 40 degrees before sowing. Shoots appear in 5-6 days. Seedlings are planted in early May in rows according to a 1.5 × 1 m pattern on low ridges or ridges. Ammonium nitrate is applied in three stages: when planting seedlings, during the second and third loosening.
