2, lighting: we can be in the single silk melon shelf, the direction of the loofah shelf and sling and stem vines should be adjusted. Remove the leaves that block the sunlight in time.
3, disease prevention: To prevent the thrips, we can use thiamethoxam and cyanoperate and fipronil and other pesticides for prevention and treatment.
4. Management: If the small loofah has begun to show signs of bending, we can slowly help the loofah grow straight by using a small rope at the bottom of it to hang a small stone or a bottle filled with water. shape. But when the loofah is too small, this method is not suitable.
