Hello everyone I posted about 130 days ago about my loofa plant growing in my shower. Well I know I had some comments to give up on it and well me being hard headed I grew the plant anyway (and in the winter 😵💫). I’m proud to say that I’m glad I didn’t listen because he (yes I gave the plants pronouns and a name) is thriving and growing strong! His name is John Snow (had a song of ice and fire binge during finals) and I think he’ll grow into a nice and healthy loofah plant! I still can’t believe a plant that grew in my shower is now thriving in an actual pot!

Way too small of a pot for them; they get quite large. Also they smell like burnt hair
Youre so fortunate! Just dont let it flower too soon, cut any buds or fruits so it can work on getting big strong leaves
Heck yeah!! Did you collect any more seeds? Plant them directly into a garden bed with a trellis
Loofah will take over.
The way this made me smirk
So by the end of season you’ll have a plentiful harvest of shower loofas
This is hella cool! If you want guidance, House of Esperanza on IG has a loofah and shares tips on growing them. Her plant is HUGE!
I’m proud of you and Jon Snow!
That is so wild.
You should message the company who sold you the loofah and thank them for their gift with purchase. 😂
Holy shit TIL loofah is a plant 😳
Life, uh, finds a way.
