Quick Grow-Guide
-
Sow directly into loose soil, 1 cm deep.
-
Thin seedlings to allow airflow and prevent fungal issues.
-
Harvest outer leaves once plants reach 6–8 inches height.
-
Add compost every 2–3 weeks for faster regrowth.
-
Avoid overhead watering to keep leaves dry and crisp.
Pro Tip: Combine with bathua or spinach for a richer, tastier saag blend.
