Description

This variety of bottle gourd is semi-round (bulb) in shape. Bottle gourd grow well when the temperature is above 20°C and starts producing fruits 70-80 days after sowing. Fruits typically weigh between 300-800 grams. The pictures displayed are for reference only. The size of the fruit may vary depending on the growing conditions.

Seed Preparation: Soaking the seeds in water before sowing can shorten the germination period.

Sowing Recommendations: For best results, soak the seeds in regular water for 4 hours before sowing. We recommend sowing the seeds directly into the soil or in a large container to avoid transplanting shock. Seeds will germinate within 15 days, depending on soil conditions. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy.

For optimal germination, use the seed packet within 2 weeks of receiving it. When growing seedlings, use a fine mixture of garden soil/sand, coco-peat, and compost in a 1:3:1 ratio. For more information, check out our guide on how to sow seeds.
