How to press the loofah vine

How to press the loofah vine

1. Pressing time

Choose to press the vines for the first time when they grow to about 35 cm. This should be done in a timely manner to prevent the vines from being damaged by strong winds. It will also help increase the fruit setting rate, promote neat arrangement of vines and leaves, and evenly expose them to sunlight, which will reduce the impact of diseases and pests. The second time should be done when the branches grow to about 70 cm. Do not miss the best time to avoid affecting the plants.

2. Pressing method

Before pressing the vines, you must first straighten the roots of the melons that have fallen over, and then make sure to press them straight, arranging the branches and vines neatly. The directions can be led in the same direction or in opposite directions. One thing to note is that if there are female flowers on it, the 1-2 small true leaves in the front and back cannot be pressed.

3. Notes

The vine pressing should also be determined according to weather conditions. If it is affected by rainy weather, it needs to be done on the bed surface. If water accumulates in the bed surface, the leaves can be simply pressed down with mud to prevent the branches and vines from rotting. If you do it on a sunny day, you can make a small trench, press the vines into the trench, and cover them with small pieces of soil.
