Soil and Location

Bottle gourds thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH level of 6.0 to 7.5. They prefer full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Planting

Soak Seeds BottleGourd Green – Agrimax in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates. Sow seeds directly in the garden or containers 1 inch deep and 4-5 feet apart to allow ample space for growth. Plant seeds in late spring or early summer when the soil temperature is consistently warm, around 70-85°F.

Care

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support healthy growth. Provide a trellis or support structure to encourage vertical growth and keep the fruits off the ground. Weed the area around the plants to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Harvesting

Harvest bottle gourds when they reach the desired size, usually 12-18 inches in length and firm to the touch. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a small stem attached. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production throughout the growing season.
