Key points of cultivation technology for loofah outdoor planting time and method

Open air loofah planting time

Open-air loofah can be planted in spring, summer and autumn. According to its growth habits, it is best planted in early July in summer, in late April in spring, and between August and September in autumn.

Methods and key points of outdoor loofah planting

1. Because the root system of open-air loofah is relatively developed, the soil needs to be relatively loose. At the same time, it has a relatively large demand for nutrients during its growth process, so the soil also needs to have strong fertility. Therefore, it is best to use nutrient-rich and well-drained sandy loam when planting it.

2. When planting open-air loofah, the seeds need to be germinated. First, select healthy seeds, then place them in a well-lit environment for disinfection, and then soak them in warm water for about a day. After the seed skin breaks, you can take it out.

3. After the water on the open-air loofah seeds has dried, you can evenly spread them in the prepared soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil. After sowing, you can water the soil with mineral-rich lake water to keep the soil moist.

Precautions for outdoor loofah planting

During the seedling stage of the open-air loofah, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time according to the actual growth situation to ensure that it is given sufficient nutrients to promote its vigorous growth. When the open-air loofah grows to a certain length, it is necessary to build a frame for it so that it can grow along the frame.
