Bottle gourds are grown by direct sowing of seeds or transplanting 15- to 20-day-old seedlings. They also fought fires and planted tree seedlings. Planting can involve using seedlings (from a nursery), (un)rooted cuttings, or seeds. They also feed on seedlings, fruit, or seeds of many plants. Deer consume seedlings and new sprouts, and small mammals and birds eat the seeds. It spreads by cuttings and seedlings. Proper water management and transplanting the rice seedlings can mitigate its effects. Many are scavengers and consume various organic remains, decaying plants, seedlings, and fungi. Transplanters automate the task of transplanting seedlings to the field. Sow them sparsely to cultivate strong seedlings. It is most-often planted and sold in batches of 5-30 seedlings. Soil temperature is important for the survival and early growth of seedlings. Slugs, snails and millipedes attack seedlings, leaves and flowers. This was followed by the spraying of a crop of potato seedlings. Fire appears to increase the natural recruitment of Scots pine seedlings.
