Approx. seeds per gram: 11
Sowing
- Soak seeds in water for 8-12 hours before sowing to speed up germination.
- Sow 2-3 cm deep directly in a large pot or grow bag. We recommend Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix.
- Best time to sow: February to May, when temperatures are warm.
- Keep in a warm, sunny spot after sowing.
Germination
- Seeds sprout in 5-8 days.
- Keep soil warm and moist during this period.
- Once sprouts appear, move to full direct sun.
Transplanting
NA - Tinda grows best with direct sowing.
Growing
- Needs direct sun, at least 6 hours daily.
- Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist. Don't let it dry out during fruiting.
- Use a large pot or grow bag with drainage holes.
- Provide a trellis or support for the vines.
- Hand pollinate by transferring pollen from male to female flowers if fruiting is low.
- Feed with cow manure every 15 days. Use neem cake and neem oil spray to keep pests away.
Aftercare & Post-Harvest
- Don't let fruits overmature. Hard, yellow tinda is overripe and signals the plant to slow down.
- Once the plant stops producing well, pull the vine out.
- Monsoon flooding can stress the plant; ensure excellent drainage.
Harvesting
- Fruits are ready in 50-65 days.
- Harvest when fruits are 4-6 cm in diameter and light green. Don't let them overmature and turn hard.
- Pick every 2-3 days. Regular harvesting encourages more fruits.
- Cut with a bit of stem using a sharp knife.

Grow it. From a seed
A tiny seed, your own hands, a little patience and it becomes something you can eat, smell, or simply admire. It's a small ritual in your own space that grows into something much bigger.

What is the season of Tinda?

Should I soak my gourd seeds before planting?
Yes, soaking gourd seeds (like tinda or bottle gourd) before planting can help speed up germination! Soak them in lukewarm water for about 6-8 hours to soften the seed coat. This boosts the chances of quicker and more uniform sprouting.
