Bottle Gourd Long (Lagenaria siceraria) is a vigorous climbing vegetable that produces long, tender fruits popular in Pakistani cooking. Ideal for home gardens, trellised beds, and larger containers, these seeds suit beginner and experienced growers alike.

How to Sow

Soak seeds for 12–24 hours before sowing to improve germination. Sow seeds directly in the ground or large pots at about 1–2 cm (¼–½ inch) deep. For earlier starts, sow in trays and transplant when seedlings have 2–3 true leaves. Keep soil evenly moist until seedlings establish.

Sowing Temperature & Season

Ideal germination temperature is 24°C–30°C. In Pakistan, sow in spring (February–April) for summer harvests, and in monsoon/early autumn (July–August) in suitable regions. Avoid planting during extreme heat without shade.

Soil & Care

Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic manure. Space plants 90–150 cm apart and provide a sturdy trellis or support for vines and long fruits. Place in full sun (6–8 hours daily). Water regularly, keeping soil consistently moist during flowering and fruit set, and mulch to conserve moisture. Feed with a balanced fertilizer at planting and side-dress with compost during active growth. Monitor for pests (aphids, fruit borer) and manage with hygienic and organic measures.

Harvest

Harvest fruits when they reach the desired length and the skin is still tender (typically 60–90 days after sowing, depending on variety). Regular harvesting encourages more fruit production.
