Made with Xara
Whole luffa sponges range from 8
inches to 24 inches. You can cut them
into slices to add to your soap, or to
plant seedlings in, scrub your back,
your dishes or your car, boat, or
whatever.
We sell them hole, you can cut them
with scissors or a serrated knife.
Luffa slices are a perfect potting
solution for those delicate annuals
that are so easy to shock. You don’t
need to disturb the root structure with
its planted in a luffa, just plant the
whole thing. The luffa are
biodegradable in a season, and your
plants have lots of room to send out
their roots.

Luffa
Luffa seeds are about the same size
as old fashioned watermelon seeds.
You get 25 in a package. The sprout
rate has been about 80%. They bloom
in 30-40 days, and continue until the
frost. Remember you will need 180
days to get mature luffa sponges. You
will have a showy bloom center for 2-3
months.
