41. Which creepers work well in vertical towers?
Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd, cucumber, beans, and pumpkin. Use towers with ground support or grow bags at the base.
42. How do I grow creepers in tower systems?
Sow in the bottom layer or ground containers. Train them using ropes or trellis toward a vertical frame.
43. Do creepers need extra nutrition?
Yes. They are heavy feeders. Enrich soil with compost, cow dung slurry, and organic boosters weekly.
44. How often should creepers be watered?
Water deeply 2–3 times per week. Avoid shallow frequent watering which leads to weak roots.
45. Do creepers need hand-pollination?
Yes, especially gourds and pumpkin family. Use a soft brush or fingers to transfer pollen.
46. Why are only male flowers forming?
It’s normal early in the plant’s life. Female flowers usually appear after 7–10 days. Keep feeding with phosphorus-rich compost.
47. Can creepers shade other plants in towers?
Yes. Prune regularly and train vines upward to prevent overshadowing leafy greens or fruiting plants.
48. Do they need more sunlight than other vegetables?
Yes. Most creepers are sun-loving. Ensure 6–7 hours of direct light daily.
49. When should creeper fruits be harvested?
Harvest young and tender fruits to encourage continuous production. Don’t let old fruits stay too long.
50. Can creepers be grown in all seasons?
No. Gourds and cucumbers are summer crops. Use seasonal varieties for best growth and yield.
