Ha Ha I am following you Durgan.I used soiless mix in the coffee filter lined cups with drainage holes added.They went into a plastic bag for humidity and were sat on the top of the fridge.When sprouted I opened the bag for a day and then removed and put cups under lights in my indoor GH.They look happy.Thanks again Durgan.
The heat on top, of the refrigerator seems to be perfect. The refrigerator that I have now does not have a warm top, which I truly miss.
Absolutely perfect. As soon as the third leaf appears give them light, preferably Sun.

I bought mine at luffaseeds.com & they did not charge for shipping. It did take 2-3 weeks for them to arrive. I just planted them wednesday.
Luffa seeds are not common in local stores. My first seeds were purchased off the internet about five years ago. I save the seeds from year to year. Seeds appear to be viable for long several years, five or more. Each luffa has about 500 seeds.
I never eat them, only make sponges. A Chinese friend told me in the old days in China people use to take them on trips for using the water they contain, since it was clean, pure and plentiful, particularly with the long luffa.

Greenhouse has been cool so germination has been slow, but the plants have good colour and are strong. All planted seeds germinated.
