Product Details
Why Grow Bottle Gourd?
Bottle gourd is one of the most rewarding vegetables for a Philippine home garden — one healthy vine can keep a family supplied with fresh upo for weeks, and every surplus fruit can be shared or sold.
Heavy Yield from Every Vine
1
A vigorous climbing vine that keeps setting fruit over a long season. Pick the young fruits regularly and the vine responds by producing even more — a small corner of your yard can give harvest after harvest.
Long, Smooth, Market-Ready Fruits
2
Straight, light-green fruits with smooth tender skin and mild flesh — exactly what buyers look for at the market. Perfect for soups, sautéed upo and stir-fries, picked fresh the same day you cook.
Easy to Grow, Even for Beginners
3
Bottle gourd loves warm Philippine weather. The seeds germinate fast, the vines climb any trellis, fence or bamboo frame, and basic watering and feeding are all the care they need to thrive.

How to Plant Bottle Gourd Seeds
Four simple steps from seed packet to first harvest.
1
Soak & Prepare
Soak the seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours to soften the hard shell and speed up germination. Prepare loose, fertile, well-draining soil mixed with compost, in a sunny spot with a trellis, fence or bamboo frame ready for climbing.
2
Sow the Seeds
Sow 2 seeds per hole, 1.5–2 cm deep, spaced about 50 cm apart — or one seed per large pot or grow bag. Cover lightly with soil and water gently. Sprouts usually appear in about 7–14 days.
3
Train & Care for the Vines
Guide the vines onto the trellis as they grow so the fruits hang straight and clean. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but never waterlogged, and feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer once the vines start running.
4
Harvest Young & Often
Pick the fruits young and tender, about 45–60 days after sowing, while the skin is still smooth and light green — this is when the flesh is best for cooking. Harvesting often encourages the vine to produce even more fruit.
Fresh vegetables, straight from your own yard. Instead of buying upo at the market every week, grow it once and harvest for months. Whatever your family cannot finish can be shared with neighbours or sold at the local market for extra income — a single ₱550 combo of 6 packs can plant a whole backyard trellis.

I grow them in our backyard on a bamboo trellis. Perfect for soups and sautéed dishes — tender skin, mild taste. My neighbours keep asking where I bought the seeds.

First time planting upo and it was easier than I expected. One vine gives more fruit than my family can finish, so I sell the extra at the market.

Almost all the seeds sprouted in just over a week. The vines climbed our fence fast and we are now harvesting long, smooth upo every few days.

The fruits grow long and straight, just like the pictures. Picking regularly really does make the vine produce more. Highly recommended for home gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many seeds are in one pack?
Each pack contains 30 bottle gourd (upo) seeds. The combos give you 90 seeds (3 packs), 180 seeds (6 packs), 270 seeds (9 packs) or 360 seeds (12 packs) — more than enough for a family garden, with extra to share or plant in succession.
How long before I can harvest?
Seeds germinate in about 7–14 days after soaking and sowing. You can start picking young, tender fruits about 45–60 days after sowing, and a healthy vine keeps producing for weeks as long as you harvest regularly.
Do bottle gourd vines need a trellis?
Yes. Bottle gourd is a climbing vine and grows best on a trellis, fence or bamboo frame. Growing upward keeps the fruits straight and clean, saves ground space, and improves airflow around the plant.
Can I grow bottle gourd in a pot or small space?
Yes — use a large pot or grow bag (at least 40 cm wide) with rich, well-draining soil, and give the vine a sturdy support to climb, such as a fence, railing or bamboo frame. Keep the soil consistently moist.
How do I pay for my order?
Payment is Cash on Delivery (COD) only. You pay the courier in cash when your seeds arrive — no prepayment, no card and no e-wallet needed. Our team will call or text you first to confirm your order.
