To achieve exceptionally rapid and uniform germination across this entire 1,000+ seed batch, pre-soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to planting to soften the shell. Sow the seeds roughly 3\/4 to 1 inch deep in warm, fertile, well-draining soil or deep starting trays. Keep the medium consistently moist and warm (around 25°C–32°C). Sprouting typically begins within 7 to 14 days, and you can expect young culinary gourds in 60 days, or mature bath sponges in about 90 to 110 days!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48417307558129,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_45037e8e-b8e5-4001-9987-176bf89ada18.webp?v=1784244244","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/smooth-luffa-sponge-gourd-seeds-luffa-aegyptiaca-1-000-bulk-premium-seeds","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
