Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and promote germination.
Scarify the seeds by gently scratching the seed coat with a file or sandpaper to further enhance germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area, or sow directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in well-draining seed-starting mix or directly into the garden soil.
Space seeds 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows spaced 36-48 inches (90-120 cm) apart.

Germination:

Luffa seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when provided with warm soil temperatures (70-90°F or 21-32°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide support for the luffa vines, such as trellises or fences, to encourage vertical growth and prevent sprawling.
Water regularly, providing 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water per week, more during hot, dry weather.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the developing fruits from direct contact with the soil.
Harvest luffa fruits when they reach 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in length and feel firm to the touch.
To use as bath sponges, allow the fruits to mature on the vine until they turn yellow and begin to feel lightweight and sponge-like. Harvest, peel off the outer skin, and remove the seeds and pulp before drying thoroughly.

Happy gardening!
