Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about identifying Dudi seeds, growing the vines, and harvesting edible fruits.
Is Dudi the same as bottle gourd?
Dudi is a regional name that can refer to bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) in some areas. Common names vary by region, so check the botanical name and fruit description supplied with your seeds to confirm the exact vegetable variety.
How long does Dudi take to grow and produce fruits?
If your Dudi seeds are bottle gourd, germination commonly takes about 7–14 days under suitable warm conditions. Plants may begin producing harvestable fruits roughly 60–90 days after sowing, depending on the variety, weather, and growing conditions.
Why are my Dudi plant flowers growing without developing fruits?
Bottle gourd plants produce separate male and female flowers, and fruit development depends on successful pollination of female flowers. Poor pollinator activity, unsuitable weather, or plant stress can reduce fruit set. Encourage pollinators, maintain consistent soil moisture, and avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer.
