- Hybrid or heirloom: Decorative gourds can be both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are often prized for their unique shapes and historical significance, while hybrid varieties may offer improved disease resistance and uniformity.
- Pruning and training: Pruning is generally not necessary for decorative gourds, but training the vines to grow on trellises or supports can help save space and improve air circulation. This can also prevent the fruits from rotting by keeping them off the ground.
- Fertilization needs: Decorative gourds benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the vines begin to run. A 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer is suitable. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Decorative gourds are typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-10. They require a warm growing season and are sensitive to frost.
- Climate requirements: Decorative gourds thrive in warm, sunny climates with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). They require well-drained soil and consistent moisture, especially during the growing season.
