Gourd in the sun

Gourds also have requirements for light. If they are placed in a warm, sheltered, and well-lit place and absorb enough sunlight, they can speed up their growth and help their fruits absorb nutrients. Especially during its growth and fruiting period, they should receive more sunlight. Gourds can be exposed to the sun, and more exposure to the sun can increase their growth rate.

Gourd growth habits

Gourds like to grow in warm, wind-proof, fertile soil. The soil should be permeable and breathable, and the soil should be kept moist during its growth period. Because it has a well-developed root system, luxuriant branches and leaves, large transpiration, and strong water absorption capacity, it needs the most water during the flowering and fruiting period, so it should be watered in time, but in the later stage of its fruit development, it should not be too much water.

In addition, it also likes sunlight. In order to make its flowers grow well, it needs to get plenty of light. A warm and humid environment in winter and a warm and humid environment in summer is the best. It has relatively more temperature requirements. The suitable growth temperature is 20-25℃. It blooms more at low temperatures, but the fruits are not high.
