Plant a towel gourd vine on the balcony and climb to three meters longer than the green loofah.

If the balcony at home is relatively large and likes to grow, you might as well plant some vegetables while growing flowers, which can be watched and harvested. The balcony can not only grow cabbage, chili, lettuce, celery and parsley, but also grow a few towel gourds. The vines climb high and long, and the loofah knot a lot.

Methods and tricks of planting towel gourd on balcony and family:

First soak the fresh towel gourd seeds in warm water for four hours and sow them in the soil. Seedlings can be sowed directly in flowerpots without transplanting.

It can also be sown in a plastic cup, grow to four leaves and then transplant into a flowerpot.

Because it is not planted in the vegetable garden or open field, it is necessary to choose a flowerpot with a larger diameter, which has enough space and depth. It is better to have a diameter of more than 30 cm and a depth of more than 15 cm. Although you can grow towel gourd in a small flowerpot, it will not grow well enough.

When preparing the soil, although the soil dug out can also be planted, some rotten leaf soil, nutrient soil, or earthworm manure, chicken manure, cake fertilizer, etc. are added as the base fertilizer, and the towel gourd grows more and more luxuriantly in the later stage.

To towel gourd to prepare enough space for growth, for example, you can climb the vine railing, to ensure that there is enough sunshine, if it is a closed balcony, you need to be able to open windows every day for ventilation.

Towel gourd vines grow to one meter long, do not need to climb the frame immediately, press the vines, bury them in the surrounding basin soil, and grow for a period of time, you can let it climb onto the shelf or railing. This method can promote it to grow more sturdy and produce more towel gourds.

Can also climb all over the balcony, like a natural curtain and Arbor, shading other flowers and plants.

When the vine grows to more than three meters in length, the top can be removed, that is, the heart, to promote it to grow more branches, blossom and bear more melons. If it is a closed balcony, it can be pollinated manually, but not on the balcony.

Only three female flowers need to be left on a vine. When there are too many male flowers, we also need to take off some of the leaves that are too dense and the old leaves. Increase ventilation and lighting.

In June and July, it is time for towel gourd to be ripe and ready for picking. Towel gourd planted by vegetable friends can be picked almost every other day.
