Grow Your Own Loofah Starter Pack Everything you need to get growing your own Loofah Sponge – just add water and light! Each kit is individually hand made by New Leaf Nurseries in North Wales and each instruction set written based on their years of growing experience and expertise.
This wonderful heirloom gourd works hard for the money! Not only can it be picked young and eaten much like our beloved courgettes, it can also be left to fully mature, dried and made into compostable household sponges which are so much more eco friendly than the plastic ones. Eat them when they’re young and tender or let them fully mature before drying.

Grow your own loofah with this unique and handmade gift, perfect for any occasion. Surprise them with a gift that keeps on giving and appeals to their love for gardening.
A loofah is a cucumber like fruit, and when dried out can be used as an exfoliating sponge.
Sow the seeds indoors from late winter into early spring then transfer into a conservatory, greenhouse or outdoors in a sunny sheltered position.
To harvest the loofah fruit to use as a sponge you must first let the fruit mature fully then dry out.
