Growing Tips

1. Planting: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer for fall harvest. Space seeds 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart to allow for proper leaf development. Lightly cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate.
2. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Be mindful of not over-watering, which can cause the leaves to rot.
3. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer to support strong growth, or amend soil with compost before planting for added nutrients.
4. Harvesting: Start harvesting young leaves for a milder flavor or allow the plant to mature for more intense spiciness. Pick leaves from the outside to encourage continued growth.
