Description

The listing, ***My LAST!!! 5 luffa sponge gourd seeds has ended.

They are known as loofah, smooth loofah, loofah sponge, loofa, luffa, loufa, loufah, luffah, sponge gourd, Chinese okra, elephant okra, dishrag gourd, towel gourd, and other common names in many different languages. The scientific name for the plant we grow is Luffa aegyptiaca. It may also be known as Luffa cylindrica. There are several other related species within the Luffa genus like Luffa acutangula, the angled luffa or ridged luffa and Luffa operculata, the ball luffa or sponge cucumber.
A loofah, as it is commonly known, is a fibrous plant seed pod. The luffa plant is a cucurbit, a group of plants including gourds, pumpkins, and cucumbers. It grows as a flowering annual vine. The pollinated flowers grow cylindrical green fruits that eventually develop into a seed pod filled with many intertwined cellulose fibers. The outer skin is removed to reveal the "loofah" inside.
When fully matured the fruits become a tough mass of fiber that makes a great scrubbing sponge. These natural cellulose fiber wonders of the vegetable world have many uses. They can exfoliate the loose cells from your skin and make you skin squeaky clean or shine up your dirty dishes. Loofahs are most excellent in the bath or shower. The exfoliating action leaves your skin feeling the cleanest and tightest it could possibly be. Scrubbing your back with a luffa sponge in the bath or shower is an incredibly pleasurable experience. Home and professional artisan craft soap makers include slices of luffa fiber in their creations to add an extra cleaning boost to their soaps. Shredded or powdered luffa fibers can also be mixed into soap making mixtures before pouring into a mold.

I have to say I don't know much about hydroponics. But, if they sprout in paper towel I don't see why not. Do you grow pumpkins and melons that way?? If you do then I would say yes!

I have. You need to grow them on a trellis. Last year I had 15 pumpkins growing on my fence, almost collapsed it.
