10 seeds per pack.

ARASTU is an F1 hybrid bitter gourd variety suitable for late-season sowing. It produces dark-green fruits with a deeply ridged and textured surface under suitable growing conditions.

It can be grown in rooftop gardens, kitchen gardens, grow bags, large containers and open soil. The plants require fertile, well-draining soil, consistent moisture, adequate sunlight and strong climbing support.

Growing Instructions

Sowing season:
20 June to 15 August

Sowing method:
Sow the seeds directly in the final container or growing location.

Soak the seeds in clean water for 4–5 hours or overnight before sowing. Sow two seeds approximately 1–1.5 inches deep. After germination, retain the healthier seedling and remove the weaker one carefully.

Recommended containers:
Grow one plant in any of the following:

  • 12 × 12-inch grow bag

  • 11 × 10-inch grow bag

  • 12-inch clay pot or a similarly sized container

Make sure the container has adequate drainage holes.

Soil:
Use rich, soft and well-draining soil. A recommended mixture is:

50% Bhalu Mitti
50% organic matter, preferably vermicompost

Sunlight:
Provide approximately 6–8 hours of sunlight, preferably including morning sunlight.

During extremely hot weather, keep newly sown containers in bright shade. After germination, gradually introduce the young plant to direct sunlight.

Climbing support:
Install a strong bamboo, metal or net trellis at an early stage. Guide the vine upward and provide enough space for the fruits to hang freely.

Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

During rainfall, make sure excess water drains quickly from the container.

Feeding:
Mix vermicompost into the soil before sowing. During active growth, apply a suitable vegetable fertilizer according to its labelled instructions.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, as it may encourage excessive leaf growth instead of balanced flowering and fruit development.

Pollination:
If natural fruit setting is limited, hand pollination may be carried out early in the morning.

Transfer pollen gently from a freshly opened male flower to the centre of a female flower. Female flowers can be identified by the small immature fruit behind the flower.

Plant care:
Maintain proper spacing and good airflow. Remove weeds and yellow or damaged leaves when required. Check the plant regularly and address any growing problems promptly.

Harvesting:
Harvest the fruits while they are young, tender, firm and dark green. Do not allow them to remain on the vine until they become overmature.

Frequent harvesting can support the continued development of new fruits.

Nothing Better
Excellent product! I have the old person dry crinkly skin for a few years. I've tried creams and Castor and coconut oils. They leave me and my clothes greasy yet doesn't stay on my skin. Where those other items failed, this Tallow Cream meets and exceeds. This goes on smooth and I look forward to the wonderful scent. I like using this cream. My hands and arms look and feel healthy. Better then it ever looked really. I'm not embarrassed by my skin now. My husband tried this on his face and beard. Very nice. He has his own jar of this Tallow cream now. About the ADDED ingredients they put in the cream... it's all good things, proof is how well it works. I don't want to make any changes to it and I would. My husband tried on his face and beard. He has his own jar now. I look to reviews for product insights. I hope our reactions help.

Not real smooth
I like the scent and I like the way it makes my skin feel; I gave it a 3 because it is not whipped all the way. It has lumps all in it . Not blended well. So it goes on lumpy. I have to keep rubbing hard to blend in.

Incredible!
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've been using castor oil on my skin for over 40 years. It's heavy, but it did the trick. Just tried this tallow with honey and will never go back. It does a wonderful job, much lighter on the skin, and it smells incredible.

Love
I only use this on my face now. I’ve noticed a huge impact on clearing up my skin and keeping it well moisturized. A small amount goes a long way. It smells amazing too!
