It is easy to grow bottle gourd by seed sowing method throughout the year. Summer and monsoon are the best time to plant seeds. Buy bottle gourd seeds online.
Seeds are sown directly in small pits or on raised beds which germinate in 7-8 days.
Bottle gourd seedlings are very fast growing and quickly form the habit of a climber.
A strong trellis support should be built for the climber to grow. Many gardeners let the plant trail on the ground or allow it to climb on poles or roof of the house.
Pinch off growing points of the young plant to induce branching.
The side shoots will develop separate male and female flowers in the second month.
After pollination, the female flowers have little gourds beneath them. If male flowers are plentiful, some of them can be removed.
Harvesting bottle gourds:
The harvesting season begins after 2-3 months of seed sowing, and it continues for about 6-8 weeks.
Best stage to harvest is when fruits have soft, smooth surface and you can push your finger nail through the skin or scrape it easily.
How to grow bottle gourd in pots:
Bottle gourds can be easily grown in 14-inch containers or big sized grow bags. Add good quality potting mixture in the container before planting seeds. The organic veggie mix is one of the best suited growing media for bottle gourds. Grow one plant per container.

I saw seeds in germinating pot and using Miracle grow germination soil with heating pad and proper humidity. None of the seed sprouted. The seeds were of bad quality.

Gourd Seeds failed to germinate. ordered this with 3 other vegetable seeds ( cucumber, bitter melon and tomatoes ). Others veg germinated and are on their growth now. This Gourd seeds probably were a bad batch.

I planted all the seeds. It has been 3 weeks. None germinated. I planted it in the pots as well in the ground, so i know its not the soil or other factors. Really disappointed!!
