    Soil Preparation

    • Prefers well-drained, nutrient rich soil. Mix organic compost or farmyard manure (FYM) before planting.
    • For growing in pot, use mixture of garden soil (40%), Compost (30%) and Cocopeat or Sand (30%) for good aeration.

    Planting from Seed

    • Sow seeds 1–1.5 inches deep with a spacing of 45-60 cm between plants and 1.5-2 meter between rows. Germination takes 6–10 days.
    • To grow beans in pot, use 15-20 inch deep pot with drainage holes. Sow 2–3 seeds per pot, 1 inch deep. Germination takes 6–10 days. After germination, thin out weaker seedlings, keeping the healthiest one.

    Watering

    • Water every 2–3 days, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Reduce watering during the rainy season to avoid fungal diseases.Morning watering is best for optimal growth.

    Trellis Support & Training

    • Bottle gourd is a climbing vine – provide a strong trellis or support. Use a bamboo trellis, net, or overhead frame for vines to climb. Train the plant upwards for better fruiting and space management.

    Fertilization

    • Use organic fertilizers like vermicompost or cow dung manure every 15 days. Add balanced NPK fertilizers, once in a month. And during flowering stage, apply fertilizer rich in potassium to boost fruiting.

    Pollination & Flowering

    • Hand pollination may be needed for better fruit set (use a soft brush to transfer pollen). Encourage pollinators by planting marigolds or basil nearby.

    Pest & Disease Management

    Common Pests:

    • Aphids & Whiteflies – Spray neem oil every 7–10 days.
    • Fruit Borers – Remove infected fruits and use organic pesticides like Bt spray.

    Common Diseases:

    • Powdery Mildew: Spray baking soda + water solution once a week.
    • Downy Mildew: Use fungicide sprays or neem oil solution.

    Harvesting

    • First harvest in 50–60 days after sowing. Pick bottle gourds when they are young and tender (10–12 inches long). Harvest regularly to encourage continuous fruit production.
