How to Grow Bottle Gourd:
Bottle gourd is a warm-season crop that can be grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 3-11. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil.
Seeds should be planted indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. Seedlings should be transplanted outdoors after the last spring frost.
Space plants 3-4 feet apart.
Bottle gourd vines can grow up to 20 feet long, so they will need to be trellised.
Water plants regularly, especially during dry spells.
Fertilize plants every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
Bottle gourds will be ready to harvest in about 100 days after planting.
Harvesting and Storing Bottle Gourd:
Bottle gourds are ready to harvest when the skin is hard and the seeds are mature.
To harvest, cut the gourds from the vine with a sharp knife.
Allow the gourds to dry in the sun for a few days before storing them.
Bottle gourds can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
