High germination rate
Out of 20 seeds, 18 sprouted successfully. The plants are vigorous and the fruits match the description perfectly. Very happy with this purchase.

Great for crafting
The wall thickness is ideal for carving small designs. One plant produced slightly larger gourds than expected, but most were the perfect tiny size.

Authentic Da Ben Zui variety
Finally found genuine seeds that produce the correct San Ting shape. The symmetry on three of my five plants is outstanding. Great for making small potted decorations.

Cute but needs patience
The gourds are incredibly tiny and cute. It took a bit longer than expected to fruit, but the result was worth the wait. Make sure to support the vines well.

Perfect for Wenwan collectors
These seeds germinated quickly and produced gourds with the classic 'ant nipple' shape. The shells are thick and perfect for hand-twisting and polishing. Highly recommended for serious collectors.
Q: How long does it take for the gourds to dry after harvesting?
A: Depending on humidity and airflow, it typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for these small gourds to dry completely. You will know they are ready when they feel light and you can hear the seeds rattling inside.
Q: Are these seeds treated with any chemicals before packaging?
A: No, our seeds are naturally harvested and cleaned. They are not treated with fungicides or pesticides, making them safe for organic gardening practices.
Q: What is the best soil mix for growing these specific gourd varieties?
A: A well-draining mix rich in organic matter works best. We recommend a blend of garden soil, compost, and perlite in a 2:1:1 ratio to encourage strong root development.
Q: Can I save seeds from the gourds I grow for next year?
A: Yes, absolutely! Since these are open-pollinated heirloom varieties, you can save seeds from your healthiest fruits. Just ensure they are fully dried and stored in a cool, dark place.
Q: Do these seeds require a trellis or can they grow in a pot without support?
A: While they can be grown in pots, we highly recommend using a small trellis or stake. The vines need support to ensure the gourds develop their symmetrical 'San Ting' shape properly.
