Tips on Plant Care

Weekly Plant Health Checks

Inspect for Pests and Diseases:

Look for signs of pests like aphids or fungus gnats and diseases such as mildew or rot. Examine leaves and stems for discoloration, holes, or spots.

Remove Damaged Plants:

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves and stems to maintain plant health and reduce the risk of disease.

Growth and Harvesting

Microgreens:

Purple Sango Radish can be harvested as microgreens within 7-14 days when the stems are about 2-3 inches tall. Use scissors to cut just above the soil line.

Baby Greens or Mature Leaves:

For larger greens, harvest 2-3 weeks after planting by cutting the outer leaves and allowing the inner ones to regrow.

Flavor and Texture

Harvest Early for Milder Flavor:

Younger leaves and roots have a milder, less spicy flavor. Overgrown plants may become overly pungent or woody.

Cool Growing Conditions for Crisp Texture:

Cooler temperatures help maintain the crispness and fresh taste of both the greens and roots.
