Luffa has a well-developed root system, so the intertillage should not be too deep. Generally, it is shallow plowed in front of the tower for 2-3 times, and the soil is cultivated for 4-5 times during the growth period, and the mud in the ditch is cultivated in the rhizosphere 1-2 cm each time to promote adventitious roots, maintain soil temperature and increase fertilizer absorption capacity.

When the towel gourd vine is more than 8- 10 meters long, it must be spread and grown by scaffolding, and after wide border cultivation, it will be built into a flat shed in groups of two borders. Shed height1.6-2m; Narrow-border planting or interplanting is generally a hedge frame, with small bamboo poles 2.6-3 meters long, one for each hole, and one or two straw ropes are tied horizontally between two bamboo poles to make melons and vines grow along the straw ropes.

The main vine of Luffa has strong growth potential, many female flowers and early fruits. In order to promote the growth of the main vine, the male and female flowers, tendrils and inverted vines should be removed in time before being put on the shelf to save nutrient consumption. After the mother vine is put on the shelf, the vine should be trimmed frequently. If it is too dense, the thin side vines and tendrils should be cut off and the vine leaves should be evenly arranged on the trellis to facilitate ventilation and light transmission. The hedge trellis should delete the side vines in time and leave the main vines to bear melons.
