Help on growing Loffas
« on: February 01, 2015, 08:51 »
Hi all,
Has anyone grown the Loffa plant and produced a bath / shower sponge at the end result ?.
Any advice on germinating / planting times / feeding ect ect would be very much appreciated.
thanks
John

Do you mean Loofah / Luffa?

I doubt it can be grown here as it's a tropical or sub-tropical plant according to wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luffa

Some other ornamental gourds might be possible according to this blog:

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
