Growing loofah sponges is a rewarding way to produce your own natural, eco-friendly sponges. These plants are relatively easy to cultivate and can thrive in a variety of climates. In this article, we will guide you through the process of growing loofah sponges, from seed selection and planting to harvesting and drying. Learn how to successfully grow loofah sponges in your garden and enjoy their numerous benefits.

Pick loofah gourds just before the first frost when they're dry and brittle. Methods for peeling, cleaning, and disinfecting them depend on how ripe they are.

These are not your average gourds! You can grow them to maturity and dry them out to use as an exfoliating shower sponge. The natural fibres gently slough off dead skin as you wash, leaving you with softer, healthier skin. Not only that, but these gourds are edible too, so grow some extras to snack on as well.
