Since luffa’s are in the squash family, it is not recommended that they be planted near other squash or cucumber crops due to the possible cross-pollination. Luffa’s will get worms in the fruit, just like squash and cucumbers, and worm holes will discolor the sponge. Luffa’s may be treated with insecticides or insecticidal soap as you would these other vegetables, if desired.
