Product Description

Short date 06/2025

This is an annual climbing plant which can climb several meters in height. It produces long cylindrical fruits with a green coloured skin which changes brown at full maturity. It has 3 internal chambers along its length and it should be picked at full maturity when the flesh of the fruit becomes fibrous and spongy. The fruits hangs and at full maturity may split at the top. You should then soak them in water and clean them to remove any unwanted residue, like the seeds, skin or flesh part. The loofah will be then ready to be used in the bath like a classic sponge.
To be sown from February to June and harvest from May to November.
