Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C).
Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 3-5 feet apart, as luffa plants require space to spread.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under warm, moist conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Direct sowing is recommended due to the sensitivity of luffa seedlings to transplant shock. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, ensuring they are hardened off gradually over a week.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Provide regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Luffa plants have high water needs, especially during hot weather.
Support: Provide sturdy trellises or structures for the vines to climb. Luffa plants are vigorous climbers and need support to grow straight.
