Molokhia Seeds بذور الملوخية

Growing Molokhia Seeds:

• Planting Time: Molokhia thrives in warm weather, so plant the seeds outdoors after the last frost when temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C). In cooler climates, you can start seeds indoors and transplant them once the weather warms up.
• Soil Requirements: Molokhia grows best in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.
• Light: This plant requires full sun to grow properly, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Planting Process: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart. If you're planting in rows, space the rows about 2-3 feet apart for adequate airflow.

Caring for Molokhia:

• Thinning: Once the seedlings reach about 2-3 inches in height, thin them to ensure each plant has enough space to grow.
• Fertilization: Use an organic, balanced fertilizer once every 3-4 weeks to promote healthy growth. Compost can also be added to enrich the soil.
• Pest Control: Molokhia is generally resistant to pests, but it may occasionally be affected by aphids or caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods like insecticidal soap if needed.

Watering:

• Germination Stage: Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination process, which typically takes 7-10 days. Water lightly to avoid over-saturating the soil.
• Once Established: Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions. Molokhia prefers moist soil but is tolerant of short dry spells. Ensure the soil is evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.
• Watering Tip: Water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid climates.
