Snake gourd (Trichosanthes cucumerina) is a warm-season vegetable grown in tropical and subtropical climates. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and requires full sunlight and regular watering. The crop grows as a vigorous vine with climbing or trailing habits. Key stages include planting seeds, vine growth, flowering, and fruit development. The long, snake-like fruits are harvested when they are young and tender. Snake gourd is valued for its unique texture and is used in various culinary dishes for its mild flavor and nutritional benefits.
