  • Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a fertile, well-draining potting mix.
  • Maintain soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

• Outdoor Sowing:

  • Direct sow outdoors after the last frost when the soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C).
  • Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-prepared soil.
  • Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they develop a few true leaves.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep soil consistently moist but avoid over-watering.

Transplanting:

• If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they are large enough to handle (around 4-6 inches tall) and the risk of frost has passed.
• Hardening off: Gradually introduce seedlings to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days to reduce transplant shock.

Spacing:

• Within Rows: 12-18 inches apart
• Between Rows: 24-36 inches apart
• Ideal for garden beds, raised beds, or containers.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Regular watering encourages healthy leaf production.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost during planting and again mid-season for optimal growth.
• Support: New Zealand Spinach is a sprawling plant and may benefit from being spaced to allow ample room to grow.
• Pruning: Trim back any old or damaged leaves to promote fresh growth.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain soil temperature.
