Luffa, a panicum miliaceum of Cucurbitaceae, has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials and lowering blood pressure, and can be used externally to diminish inflammation and sterilize. Luffa juice can clean and beautify the skin. Luffa is nutritious and delicious. When you are old, you can also use endless silk pulp to brush pots and dishes. When planting flowers, you can also put them in pots to isolate the soil and prevent the roots from rotting. The pulp of loofah can also be made into insole.

The lateral buds of loofah can go or not. Generally, when cultivated at home, it is allowed to grow at will and will not take off the lateral vines. However, if cultivated in a large area, the lateral vines will be disposed of in time, because Luffa has strong branching ability, and many lateral vines will grow during the growth period, which needs to be pruned in time. Otherwise, the luxuriant growth of lateral branches will lead to the competition for nutrients, which will easily lead to the poor growth of Luffa, leaving only one main vine. This method is suitable for greenhouse cultivation, and the nutrients will be more concentrated after pruning the lateral vines.

In the process of cultivating Luffa, it is necessary to sparse the branches and leaves that grow too densely, improve the light transmittance and ventilation between the branches and leaves, and make Luffa grow healthily. After pruning, spray carbendazim solution on the wound for sterilization and disinfection to prevent the wound of towel gourd infected with bacteria from rotting.

At the same time, it is necessary to prune the weak branches and dead leaves in time to promote the growth of healthy new branches of Luffa, and remove the diseased leaves and insect branches of Luffa in time to avoid the deterioration of the disease, and then spray fungicides every 7 ~ 10 days to reduce the growth of bacteria.

Before loofah bears fruit, it is necessary to remove too many buds, so that nutrients can be supplied to the main branches in a centralized way, thus improving the output of loofah. In addition, it is necessary to prune the fruits with abnormal growth or pathological changes to reduce the consumption of nutrients, thus improving the yield and quality of loofah fruits.
