Key Features
• Uniform & Attractive Fruit: Short cylindrical shape, 18–24 cm in length and 6–8 cm in diameter, with smooth white skin and minimal greenish blush at the stem end.
• Superior Eating Quality: Tender flesh with a mildly sweet taste and a unique, pleasant aromatic note. Easy to peel and prepare for cooking.
• Hybrid Vigor: First-generation hybrid ensures consistent growth, fruit uniformity, and reliable performance.
• Strong Adaptability: Thrives in a range of growing conditions, showing good resilience and steady yields.
• Dual-Purpose Potential: While primarily grown as an edible vegetable, mature fruits can also be used as natural sponges when fully dried.

Cultivation Guidelines
• Sowing & Planting: Start seeds indoors in cooler climates or direct sow after the last frost. Prefers warm, sunny locations with well-draining soil.
• Spacing & Support: Plant 2–3 seeds per hill, thinning to the strongest seedling. Provide a sturdy trellis or support for vertical growth to ensure straight fruit and save space.
• Water & Nutrition: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. Apply balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support vigorous growth.
• Pest & Disease Management: Monitor for common cucurbit pests (e.g., aphids, cucumber beetles). Good air circulation and crop rotation help prevent fungal issues.
• Harvesting: For culinary use, harvest fruits while still young and tender (around 18–24 cm long). For sponge use, allow fruits to mature fully on the vine until skin turns brown and dry.
