    Default Luffa cylindrica (Sponge Luffa)

    Luffa cylindrica (Sponge Luffa) were planted outside along its support trellis. These plants were started indoors on 22 February 2011. They make excellent sponges if the weather is accommodating. The plant grows slowly and requires about 150 plus days to obtain mature fruit, suitable for sponges.

    You can also eat the immature fruit if they don't get full size. See here:
