Amaranth planting timeAmaranth can be planted in spring and autumn, preferably around March or April, because the temperature at this time will help the germination of seedlings. In the southern region with relatively low temperatures, it can be planted in early March, while in the northern region it is best to wait until April. If it is planted in a greenhouse, it can be done a month in advance. How to grow amaranth1. Soil selection: Amaranth has a strong adaptability to the environment and is not very demanding on the soil. However, in order to allow it to grow better, try to choose loose, fertile, and well-drained soil, and break up larger soil particles before planting. 2. Seed selection: Amaranth seeds can be sown directly, but it is best to germinate them so that the germination rate will be higher. Soak the purchased seeds in warm water for about 4-5 hours. After taking them out, mix them with clean fine sand and stir them evenly. 3. Sowing: Sow the amaranth seeds in the soil and cover them with a layer of fine soil with a thickness of 0.5 cm. No watering is required. They will germinate in about 3 days. For untreated seeds, it will take about 7 days to germinate. Amaranth planting precautionsAfter sowing amaranth in spring, you need to wait about 7-12 days for the seedlings to grow out. After the amaranth grows 5 leaves, you can apply fertilizer once, which can be done in conjunction with watering. However, after sowing in spring, watering should be controlled to avoid water accumulation. During the growth period of the seedlings, you can carry out inter-row cultivation and weeding, which is beneficial to promote the healthy growth of amaranth. |
