You can grow Ash Gourd from seeds quickly. Healthy seeds will be sent to you. It would be best to plant them in groups of four seeds 2.5-5cm deep in good soil. Generally, the spacing between groups should be 100-150cm, and the distance between rows should be 250cm. You only need a little water each day. Seedlings of the Ash Gourd creeper should be thinned when leaves appear to 5 cm or 7 cm each, keeping their fruits off the ground. Ash Gourds do best on supports and trellises. The seeds can be planted in trays, in pots, or on the ground. 

Despite their rapid growth indoors, ash gourds require patience. Ash Gourds grow best in temperate climates. However, they can't withstand frost. For this reason, they shouldn't be grown during the winter. It takes 50 to 100 days after sowing for Ash Gourd creepers to flower. Immature gourds appear around a week after the flowers appear. Gourds that aren't mature show a little more care, but they are also edible when cooked.
