I grew luffa for the first time this summer, one seedonly. It grew all over the side of my house. I got three luffa from it. I will plant them with a trellis nest year. So happy to grow something new!😃👍🏾

Hi, Luffa is actually a vegetable courgettes the young and the tender ones can be stewed or steamed. It is grown as vegetable in the Indo-subcontineint. One or two large courgettes are allowed to ripe and dry for puffs. The flowers are also edible can be fried in tempura. It's a larger version of zucchini. Try it out

I soaked my loofa seeds in water and changed the water every two days, and the by 12 days I have a two inch sprout. Then plant in the ground. 🎉❤

[@MinnieAcresFarm]

I had a hard time getting my seeds to sprout last year but the arbor shaded them some so that makes sense. I will put them in a different full sun spot this year and see if that helps😄

[@theUrbanGardener]

I think your on to something with the older seed theory. Maybe the seed dries more as it ages and cause micro cracks in the shell to allow water into that space your talking about, really thirsty actually make a lot of sense.

[@theUrbanGardener]

Also I just started soaking my luffa seeds right before I came on here and saw your video, you got great timing!

[@wendiland]

can’t ask for any better timing! Looking forward to see your loofah updates!

[@wendiland]

Micro cracks, very possible! 👍

[@vpgarden5986]

Next week will be high 70s and low 80s during the day. Time for plants to thrive! I wonder if I can grow using the super market luffa...

[@candiwallace6605]

I love luffa❤💥💃🌱

[@1aliveandwell]

Are those a difference type of Loofa, as light colored seeds and mine (Mom grew them 20yrs ago), are black seeds.

[@katclaus7425]

The luffa she grows are the smooth luffa. Ranch 99 sells packets of smooth luffa and they are all white. The ridged seeds I've seen have been black.

[@PrettyAliceNight]

I ordered the seeds from you and got an email today saying they are coming. I’m so excited!

[@wendiland]

Yay! Thank you for supporting! Hope you have a bountiful harvest!

[@awkwardpenguinftw]

I open luffa/gourd seeds with my teeth as you would a sunflower seed. Some get squished but most are ok and plant just the seed, no shell. It germinates very fast this way, a couple of days

[@sianapapalii1939]

Hi there thank you so very much for the information you share for many of us God bless 👍👍

[@tommyjohnson1963]

I really liked your video good job thank you

[@janetpowell9811]

Thank you for the tip. I was wondering why it took so long for my Luffa to germinate.

[@wendiland]

Hope this helps. Once you give it a snip it will pop up very fast as long as the soil is warm

[@janetpowell9811]

@@wendiland hi I live in Florida so you know the soil is warm.

[@wendiland]

@@janetpowell9811 luffa is going to love it there once it germinates!

[@mamiconrazon]

My seeds germinated here in Florida in like 3-4 days. Problem is I tried transplanting one because my pot has a bunch in it but the transplant died. 😞 I wonder if I didn’t wait long enough

[@stevensbirds4455]

Thank You Wendi.

[@702cadi]

Hi nice information helps everyone. In 2022 in Henderson area building a new house. Have u watched California Gardner. I’m going to build the same design. I’m getting used to your short haircut

[@wendiland]

that sounds exciting! Yes love the content!

[@emilybh6255]

Can you do a video or videos about the easiest perennials to grow in food forests in every hardiness zone in America and the best way to get them growing?

[@wendiland]

I’ll give it some thought as it is difficult to find plants that works everywhere. The most universal would be annuals or grown as annual like edible weeds.

[@fahadnasir5014]

Doing great!

[@jamessawicki1495]

Awesome I have seeds are few years old hope ok

[@wendiland]

Best to store seeds in cool, dark, dry place. If it’s been just few years but kept indoor, out of the sun, it should be fine. Good luck!

[@michalbarkai3736]

How many plants should i get? I have two little seedlings now... Should i plant more to get luffas?

[@wendiland]

refer to my luffa harvest videos, or garden tours. That was one plant. but if you grow a few you can prune them and have a more steady harvest.

[@michalbarkai3736]

@@wendiland thank you!!! Im now starstruck that you actually answered!!!:):)

[@ludunkalubovmoia293]

Hi. Just want to make sure. This green "basket " where you transplant luffa has the bottom or it is sitting on the top soil ? I am wondering if it's good idea to grow luffa in a big container.

[@lmphashby]

what type of luffa do you plant?

[@freebird1800]

Do youadd anything to the water with the seeds?

[@Plantodyssee]

Hi, what are you using as the luffa trellis?

[@emmajane619]

I’m in zone 10 b a warm climate, every time I take the humidity dome off all the leaves like to droop is this normal?? Or how do I fix it? I’m about to plant it in the ground hopefully that’ll toughen up then

[@wendiland]

Young plants are used to high humidity. They will need to slowly be introduced to humidity outside the dome. Take them out of dome until leaves start showing a bit of wilt then place them back inside. Each time introducing them to outside the dome, they will learn to adapt better. Train them before planting outside to prevent stressing the plants.

[@Jellybeanirishgreen]

I was going to get your seeds butt hey are sold out :(

[@wendiland]

More coming soon!! Follow on social media where I will announce, and sign up for the email notice which is on the seed listing. 🫶

[@lynnetteb82]

Would a 3 gal container be big enough for 1 plant?

[@wendiland]

I would at least grow 1 in a 5 gallon. But 7-10 gal would be better.
