In northern climates, this plant must be cultivated in a greenhouse. In conditions where greenhouse cucumbers can be grown, these gourds prefer it even a tad warmer! Luffa Gourds do not like being transplanted; get the seedlings to their growing site quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eBuab Moom Luffa Gourd loves a trellis to climb up throughout the growing season. It provides air circulation to avoid diseases and create uniform fruits. Supply abundant nitrogen in the soil with fertilizer, compost, or a nitrogen fixator intercrop (such as yard-long beans). Prune the plant periodically to have one vertical vine. In conditions with a long enough growing season, remove the first few blooms and allow the plant additional time to establish before fruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Buab Moom Gourd\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor consumption, harvest the gourds when they are firm, bright green, and 4-6 inches long.
