Luffa seedlings are afraid of frost, and it is not too late to sow in long summer.
Grandpa said that the suitable natural temperature for loofah germination is above 20 degrees, and the germination is slow below 15 degrees. /kloc-the germination ability is blocked below 0/0 degree, and it can't germinate normally below 5 degree. According to relevant data, Luffa is a temperate plant, which is generally suitable for growing at the temperature of 18 to 24 degrees.
The garden fence is attached to the wall, and loofah and bitter gourd are planted in the hatchback.
Grandpa said that the old saying that "the garden fence is attached to the wall, and the loofah and bitter gourd are long hatchbacks" is the requirement for selecting stubble for loofah planting; Literally, loofah and bitter gourd cannot be mixed, and they need to be planted on both sides; Why is Luffa listed as a species to be avoided here? This is because bitter gourd contains unique bitterness and wild cucumber juice enzyme. Only when these two substances exist at the same time, bitter gourd has bitterness.
Luffa is full of flowers. Don't plant it in thin soil.
As the old saying goes, "Loofah is not planted in thin soil, and flowers are like brocade"; This sentence means the specific requirements of loofah cultivation for nutrients; This sentence clearly points out that planting loofah requires fertile soil. Although Luffa has no strict requirements on soil quality, its deep soil layer, fertile soil, high content of organic components, rich trace elements and loose and moist soil are more conducive to improving the quality and yield of Luffa.
Dry sowing is not afraid of waiting, while wet sowing is afraid of pollen when it rains.
As the old saying goes, "if you are not afraid of waiting for dry seeds, you are afraid of being planted in the rain"; It is a specific requirement for the sowing method of loofah; Loofah sown in the wild in summer does not need to be soaked to accelerate germination. As long as the soil is wet, you can dry the seeds; Don't be afraid that the seeds won't grow. It doesn't matter if you wait too long. As long as the seeds are of good quality and the temperature is right, they will always come out.
Plant three or two seeds under each hole to make room for strong seedlings.
As the old saying goes, "there are three or two kinds of plants under the cave, and there is room for strong seedlings"; This sentence is a requirement for the number of loofah seeds; Because the loofah planted in the open field faces a complex and changeable environment under natural conditions, there are many unpredictable and uncontrollable factors compared with the protected seedlings.
Deep ditch, high ridge, high density and high scaffolding.
The old saying "deep furrow and high density vines" is a requirement for sowing depth, sowing interval and vine management in the later period; Luffa is a drought-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant plant. Luffa has a well-developed root system and has a certain drought tolerance, but it is not tolerant to extreme drought; Luffa is not tolerant to waterlogging. The roots of Luffa are soaked in water for a long time, which is easy to cause yellowing and leaves fall off into leaves, flowers and dead plants, so it is required to plant Luffa in high altitude areas.
