SNAKE GOURD

Other Name: Chichinda

Period/Seasonal Colour: greenish in color

Height: 2 m

Where To Plant: July and January are highly suitable for cultivation.

When To Plant: Snake gourds grow in tropical regions, so a similar climate is ideal for cultivating snake gourds.

How To Plant: soaking the seeds for two to 12 hours helps activate the germination process. After soaking the seeds, plant them in a moist seed-starting mix in large flowerpots or peat pots. Cover the pots with plastic wrap to hold the moisture in. When the sprouts appear, usually within 10 days, remove the plastic wrap.
