Growing habits:
1, illumination: Luffa is a short-day crop, which likes strong light and is resistant to weak light. Short sunshine and large temperature difference at seedling stage are beneficial to female flower bud differentiation, early fruiting and high yield. Short sunshine and high temperature in the whole growth period are beneficial to the growth and development of stems and leaves, maintaining healthy nutritional growth, and also beneficial to the development of flowering and fruit setting, young melons and the improvement of yield.
2. Temperature: Luffa is a thermophilic and heat-resistant crop. The suitable temperature for the growth and development of Luffa is 20-30℃, and the suitable temperature for the germination of Luffa seeds is 28-30℃, and it germinates rapidly at 30-35℃.
3. Humidity: Luffa likes humidity and is afraid of drought. Soil moisture is high. When the moisture content is above 70%, it grows slowly when it is below 50%, and the air humidity should not be lower than 60%. 75%-85%, the growth rate is fast, and there are more melons. When the air humidity reaches saturation in a short time, it can still grow and develop normally.
4. Soil: Luffa is a vegetable crop with strong adaptability and not strict requirements on soil. It can be planted in all kinds of soil.
