When is the best month to plant loofah and when can it produce high yield?

Which month is suitable for planting loofah?

In the north, loofahs are usually planted around the Qingming Festival, while in the south, where the temperature is relatively high, it is more suitable to plant loofahs earlier, in February. Loofahs can also be planted in summer, from April to July, so that they can be on the market from June to October. The specific time still needs to be adjusted according to local conditions.

How to plant loofah

1. Soil preparation

Luffa does not have particularly high requirements for soil. Just choose fertile and loose soil. You can choose to plant it by sowing seeds, or you can cultivate it into seedlings and then transplant the seedlings for planting. Both methods are acceptable.

2. Build the scaffold

When planting loofah, you must build a rack, otherwise the loofah will crawl on the ground and grow. Building a rack can help the loofah grow upward and make it grow better. The material of the rack is mostly bamboo, and it should be built before planting.

Tips for planting loofah

After we plant the loofah, we need to water it reasonably and appropriately according to the situation. Its demand for water is still very high. The loofah will grow better with sufficient water. The frequency of watering can be once in the morning every day, and the amount of water each time should be based on the standard of just moistening the soil.
