Luffa Sponge Starter Plant- (1)

Luffa plants are a peculiar squash that can be eaten or dried out to make your own luxurious sponge!

This is a fast climbing plant and will need support to grow.

Plant in full sun (6-8 hours daily) after the last frost date. You can place outside prior to last frost if you watch the weather. Plants left in pots for extended periods of time will need to be watered more frequently and possibly put in a bigger pot to reduce getting root bound.

The fruit of the plant gets to be 2 feet long. 

Pick up only.
