How long does spinach grow?

The growth cycle of spinach is about 30-50 days, and the growth speed is relatively fast, but it will vary due to different sowing times. For example, the growth period of spinach sown in autumn is about 35 days, and the growth period of spinach sown in winter or spring is about 45 days.

The growth of spinach goes through three stages: seed stage, vegetative growth stage, and reproductive growth stage. The plants are sown around March and harvested in April-May.

The growth process of spinach

1. Seed stage: This period includes seed maturity, seed dormancy, seed germination and other stages. Field management must be ensured to ensure the healthy growth of seeds.

2. Vegetative growth period: During this period, the spinach seeds will begin to germinate, and then the cotyledons and true leaves will grow out one after another, gradually transitioning from seedlings to flower buds.

3. Reproductive growth period: During this period, spinach will ear, bud and bloom. The number of leaves will no longer increase, but vegetative growth will still dominate.

Spinach growth period maintenance and management

1. Spinach seedlings should be covered with plastic film during the seedling stage. After the seedlings emerge, they should be covered with an arch shed to achieve the purpose of heat preservation. During this period, the seedlings should also be exposed to more light.

2. After spinach grows true leaves, it should be watered with clear manure water and weeded. During the growth period, it should be fertilized 2-3 times.

3. During the reproductive growth period of spinach, it is necessary to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water to promote the full growth of spinach leaves in order to improve the yield and quality of spinach.
