Can loofah be planted in pots?

Luffa can be planted in pots, but if you want to plant it in a pot, you must pay attention to the maintenance environment. If the light or temperature is not enough, it will not grow normally.

It is best to plant the loofah in a larger pot, because its roots need more space to grow. In addition, after choosing a suitable pot, you can water it on time, which will help promote its normal flowering.

How to grow loofah in pots

1. Soil preparation

Potted loofah requires loose and fertile soil, and some fertilizer needs to be applied to the soil before planting to ensure that it can grow quickly.

2. Pruning

The growth rate of loofah is very fast. If it is not pruned in time, it may lead to waste of nutrients, so it is necessary to prun it in time. Generally, it is more appropriate to prune it once every two months.

3. Watering

Generally, loofah must be watered on sunny days because its leaves are relatively large and consume more water. If it is not watered, the leaves may wilt.

4. Fertilization

Generally, fertilizer needs to be applied before the loofah blooms. It is best to use urea, which has a relatively high nutritional value. Do not apply fertilizer during the flowering period. You can wait until after flowering to apply fertilizer.
