When to Plant in the UAE

• Direct Sow: Sow seeds from October through February, when temperatures are cool.
• Successive Planting: Sow every 2–3 weeks throughout the season for a continuous harvest.

Planting & Care Tips

• Light & Soil: Grow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
• Depth & Germination: Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep. Germination typically occurs within 4–10 days.
• Spacing: Space plants 20–25 cm apart, with 25–30 cm between rows. Thin seedlings as needed to encourage healthy growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist to produce tender, flavorful leaves and help prevent bitterness.
• Feeding: Mix compost into the soil before planting and apply a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks for continuous leafy growth.
• Harvest: Begin harvesting baby leaves in 25–30 days, or allow plants to mature for 40–50 days for full-sized leaves.
• Harvesting Tips: Harvest outer leaves regularly using the cut-and-come-again method to encourage continuous production throughout the season.
