1. Storing Seeds
To maintain viability, store the seeds in a cool, dry place until you are ready to sow them. This helps to prevent moisture and temperature fluctuations from affecting their quality.
2. Soil Preparation
For the best results, use a well-drained soil mix enriched with Abono potting soil, Abono coco-peat, and Abono compost. This mix provides an ideal balance of nutrients, aeration, and moisture retention.
3. Sowing Seeds
- Depth and Spacing: Sow the Chitti Keerai seeds about 0.5 cm deep. For each planting hole, place 2-3 seeds. Ensure that the planting holes are spaced 3-4 inches apart in a container to allow proper root development.
- Firm Soil: After covering the seeds with soil, firm the soil gently to eliminate any air pockets that may hinder germination.
- Initial Watering: Water the soil immediately after sowing to activate the seed germination process.
4. Germination
Under optimal conditions, Chitti Keerai seeds should germinate within 8-10 days. During this period, maintain soil moisture by watering lightly and regularly. Avoid over-watering as this could lead to fungal infections or seed rot.
5. Growth Conditions
- Light Requirements: Chitti Keerai grows best in partial shade, especially in warmer regions. Ensure the plants receive filtered sunlight to avoid scorching the tender leaves.
- Temperature Tolerance: These seeds are suitable for all Indian weather conditions, ensuring robust growth throughout various seasons.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Watering: Consistent moisture is crucial for the healthy growth of Chitti Keerai. Water the plants moderately, ensuring that the soil remains damp but not waterlogged.
- Thinning: Once the seedlings are well-established, thin them out to maintain the 3-4 inch spacing, which is essential for optimal root development.
- Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers such as Abono compost to provide essential nutrients during key growth stages.
7. Pest and Disease Management
Regular checks for pests and diseases will help maintain the health and productivity of your Chitti Keerai plants. Organic solutions such as neem oil sprays can effectively manage common garden pests.
The best part of growing your own Chitti Keerai is the harvest. You can start harvesting the leaves as soon as they are big enough to eat. Use sharp scissors or gardening shears to cut the leaves, taking care not to damage the plant base. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, ensuring a prolonged supply of fresh greens.
