Growing luffa plants is an enjoyable project but not one for the impatient. Luffa is cold sensitive and takes a long time to mature into a dried sponge, so luffa gourd planting shouldnât be attempted if you donât have the patience to wait. Sow gourd seeds 8 to 12 inches apart along a fence as soon as the ground is warm enough to work and all danger of frost has passed in spring. To facilitate germination, scrape the seed coat with a file or allow seeds to soak for at least 24 hours. Seeds are very slow to sprout so gardeners should not lose faith. Seeds can also be started indoors several weeks before the last frost. Plant one to three plants in a hill and space hills 6 feet apart. Luffa plants like full sun and organic soil.
