Good things take time and care
Sowing
- Sow your ridge gourd seeds directly into well-draining pots (16 inch diameter, 8-10 inches deep) or raised beds ( 2 feet apart).
- The Ideal potting mix for ridge gourds is 2 part garden soil & 1 part any Organic Manure (Well rotten cow dung or farmyard manure or compost) or 1 part garden soil, 1 part Coco Peat & 1 part Vermicompost
- Sow 2 seeds in the centre of the pot or at the sowing spot on the raised bed by placing it on the soil surface and carefully pressing it 1cm deep.
- Alternately, you can also make shallow depressions in the medium using the back of a pencil and put your seeds inside these depressions and cover them up with coco peat.
- Water the sown seed bed immediately by a light shower with a watering can.
Caring
- Your ridge gourd seeds will germinate within the first 6 - 8 days. You will notice tiny sprouts growing at this stage.
- Second week onwards, seedlings will start growing into a small plant.
- After the second week, retain a single seedling at one spot, prune the undergrown seedlings with a pair of scissors.
- Ridge gourds require full sunlight to grow and daily watering in summer.
- For an even shower use a Watering can to water your plants or use a drip irrigation system.
- Ridge gourds are aggressive climbers and need a lot of space to grow. So develop a strong trellis support up to height of 5-6 ft, by using locally available material like pipes, bamboo, ropes, wires etc. for your ridge gourd plant.
- When your bottle gourd plant is more than 45 days old, provide one tablespoon of 15:15:15 (NPK) Fertilizer per plant or mix handful of Vermicompost in the soil around each plant.
- Your plants will flower 80-90 days from sowing, it has separate Male & female flowers on same plant. Fruits will be formed on female flower after pollination.
- Ridge gourd can be harvested 3 months after sowing the seeds. Harvesting season can continue for next 3 months
Common Problems
Ridge gourd plant is not growing fruits.
Insufficient pollination is a big factor that can hamper the growth of bottle gourds. If sufficient pollination does not take place, the female flower will grow initially, but will die and fall off eventually. To increase pollination you can opt for hand pollination using a brush.
Why are my Ridge Gourd seedlings wilting?
Overwatering is the main cause for wilting. Too much water can drown your seedlings and deprive their roots of air, which leads to wilting and your seedlings might eventually die.
Why are my Ridge gourd seeds not germinating?
Growing conditions like moisture, improper soil temperature, over watering or under watering can all be a reason why your seeds are not germinating.
