BStore 10 Long Bottle Gourd Stars F1 Viet Nam Bau Sao Lai F1 Seeds Starter Kits Growing Zone: Long Bottle Gourd, scientifically known as Lagenaria siceraria, is a warm-season vegetable that thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-11. It requires a long, frost-free growing season to reach maturity. How to Grow Long Bottle Gourd Stars Seeds: Seed Starting: Start Long Bottle Gourd Stars seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant the seeds in biodegradable pots filled with rich, well-draining soil. Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-10 days. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-draining soil. Space the plants approximately 3-4 feet apart to allow for proper vine growth. Growing Conditions: Long Bottle Gourd Stars plants require full sun and consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Water the plants deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Support: Provide support for the Long Bottle Gourd vines by installing trellises, stakes, or other structures. This will prevent the heavy fruits from touching the ground and reduce the risk of rotting. Maintenance: Monitor the plants for pests such as aphids, cucumber beetles, and squash bugs, and treat them promptly if detected. Regularly prune the vines to remove any dead or diseased foliage and encourage proper air circulation. Harvesting Time: Long Bottle Gourd Stars can be harvested once they reach maturity, typically 70-100 days after planting. Harvest the gourds when they are still young and tender, with a glossy skin and firm texture. The best time to harvest is in the morning when the fruits are cool and the vines are less likely to wilt.
