The seeds germinated quickly, and the young plants are robust. So far, I haven�t had any issues with pests, and the growth is promising.
Out of 12 seeds, 10 sprouted, which is great. The plants are looking healthy and vigorous. Excited to see how the luffas turn out by late fall.
Planted these in my garden, and the results are solid. The vines are strong, and the seedlings are growing fast. I�m looking forward to seeing full-sized luffas.
