Luffa is a hot weather plant and growth slows in cool weather. The flowers appear over an extended period of time blooming sequentially as the vine progresses. The vines can grow 30 feet(10m) long over the course of a growing season. The reward of picking, peeling, and cleaning your own sponges happens in Autumn of the year. Luffa requires about 140 to 200 or more warm frost free days. It needs lots of sun, warmth, water, good root nutrients, and a large strong trellis. The vines will grow on the ground on a well drained weed-free flat surface but tend to produce curved loofahs. The ideal soil ph is neutral to slightly alkaline. Some lime might be needed for acid soils.
