These seeds are easy to plant and grow, provided you give them the right conditions. Luffa plants thrive in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They also prefer rich, well-draining soil to ensure healthy root development. As vigorous climbers, luffas need strong support, so plant them near a trellis or fence. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, promoting lush growth and abundant fruit production. Incorporating related vegetables like cucumber, eggplant, and pepper can diversify your garden.
