Luffa Gourd (Petola)
Luffa loves full sun and well-drained but moist soil, enriched with compost materials. The male flowers are here to test whether there are bees in the area. Pollinate the first male flower like a bee. Female flowers will follow then. Harvest the fruit to eat ten days after the pollination day.
