To start outdoors, sow after night temperatures stay above 55 degrees. Sow 2 or 3 seeds 1 inch deep in groups spaced 12 inches apart and 4 inches from vertical supports. Thin to 1 or 2 strongest seedlings per group. Hand pollinate gourds for best yields.
Harvesting & Storage:Harvest when fully matures with brown and dry outer rinds, are very light for their size and seeds rattle inside. Peel off the dark outer rind, exposing the fibrous interior . Cut open end to shake out seed. Soak loofahs for an hour in a week bleach solution to whiten. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Talk about a fun plant to grow lol the entire family gets to help with the process!
These were surprisingly more difficult to find than I imagined. Arrived quickly, sprouted nicely so far. Can’t wait to see how they continue growing!
I bought these for next spring. They seem like a fun plant to grow for the kids.
Seeds sprouted after only 4 days. Can't wait to have my own loofahs!
Super stoked to grow my own Christmas gifts in the form of these loofahs. Would give 5 stars if I was at successful harvest but am going by initial germination.

I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
Appreciate that you have this in bulk quantities. We use this as a rooting hormone and as a potting mix and soil supplement. Kelp meal is rich in minerals and micro-nutrients and contains growth hormones that support healthy root growth.
Helps me keep the ants down on my property. Place outside and keeps ants down even in your house.
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
