The loofahs genus, part of the cucumber family, follows a fairly straightforward care profile. For Basic Care, they prefer full sun exposure, regular watering, and warm temperatures. Their preferred soil is well-draining with decent fertility. Common Challenges include pests such as aphids and squash beetles, while fungal diseases can affect the plant due to overwatering. Seasonal Considerations see loofahs needing a long, warm growing season, thus seeds are often started indoors before transplanting in spring. Special care should be taken to protect them in colder climates.
