Bottle Gourd Long Saplings - - Pack Of 4 Plants
Gardening
Bottle gourd, scientifically known as Lagenaria siceraria, is a popular vegetable plant grown for its edible fruits. If you're interested in cultivating bottle gourd from saplings,
Selecting Saplings:
Choose healthy, disease-free saplings from a reputable nursery or garden center. Look for strong stems and vibrant leaves.
Planting Time:
Bottle gourd is a warm-season crop. Plant saplings after the last frost date in your region when the soil has warmed up.
Soil Preparation:
Bottle gourd plants prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure.
Planting Depth:
Plant the saplings about 1-2 inches deep in the soil. Space them about 36-48 inches apart in rows, giving them plenty of room to spread.
Sunlight and Watering:
Bottle gourd plants need plenty of sunlight (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) and consistent watering. Water deeply, especially during dry spells.
Support:
Bottle gourd plants are climbers. Provide trellises or other support structures for the vines to climb. This helps in better air circulation and prevents fruits from rotting on the ground.
Pruning:
Regularly prune the plant to encourage lateral growth and remove dead or diseased branches.
