Quick Grow-Guide
-
Sow directly into prepared garden beds or grow bags 0.5–1 cm deep.
-
Thin the seedlings once sprouted to leave space for bushier growth.
-
Harvest young leaves every week for best taste and regrowth.
-
Avoid overwatering—bathua prefers moist but not soggy soil.
-
Mix compost into the soil every 2 weeks for lush green leaves.
Pro Tip: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds in small batches every 10–12 days.
