After dismal failures last year, I've actually got a decent sized loofah fruit growing. The plant isn't very big and seems very sensitive to temperature - drops its flower buds whenever the weather gets a bit chilly. Would probably do better in a greenhouse/poly. Has anyone successfully got a back-scrubber from their plants?
mine is in a greenhouse and started dieing back last week gone, it never flowered :'(.
That's so odd. Mine is outside and is covered in flowers and has set quite a few fruit. Wonder then if it doesn't like humidity, or something else......
i think mine ran out of pot space. shame really as this year would have been ideal for growing it outdoors as the weather was perfect for it.
