Which month is suitable for planting angular loofah?

Angular loofah is generally planted in spring, and the specific time can be from April to May, but it will vary due to the different altitudes in different regions. In areas with high altitudes, the sowing time also needs to be appropriately postponed.

Angular loofah planting method

1. Site selection and land preparation

The angular loofah does not have very strict requirements for soil, but the best planting site is a well-ventilated, sunny and well-drained area. The soil should be plowed before planting and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be applied.

2. Sowing

Angular loofah can generally be sown by direct seeding in the open field. Dry the seeds in the sun for a day before sowing. After taking them out, mix the seeds with wood ash. Sow two seeds in each hole, and then cover them with plastic film to keep warm and moist.

Points to note when planting angular loofah

1. After the seedlings of angular loofah grow leaves, they need to be thinned out in time. Be sure to remove the excess weak seedlings. Add fertilizer in time after thinning, which can promote the growth of the seedlings.

2. When the main vine of the angular loofah grows to the trellis, it needs to be topped and pruned, leaving only 2-3 side branches, which can encourage it to bloom and bear fruit later.
