Has anyone grown a loufa gourd? Does it really produce a loufa? Any
advice?


They grow them every year in the Waterlilly House at Kew. Lots of Loufas
hanging down whenever I've taken a look during the late summer/autumn.
Must like it hot and steamy with plenty of light 'cause that's what it's
like in there, so I wonder if you would be able to provide suitable
conditions. Mind you, it's always worth a try, let us know how you get on.

Found this little bit about the Waterlily house....
