Guide to Growing Baby Leaf Seeds (Young Leaf Mix)

Step 1: Preparing the soil or pot

• Choose a wide pot or garden area with well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
• Mix compost with the soil to improve fertility and provide essential nutrients.

Step 2: Sowing

• Scatter the seeds relatively densely, at intervals of 2-3 cm, to get small, dense leaves.
• Cover them with a thin layer of soil (about 0.5 cm).
• Water gently to maintain even moisture.

Step 3: Growing Conditions

• Baby leaves like full sun or partial shade.
• Ideal growing temperature: 10-25°C.
• Soil should be kept moist but not flooded.

Stage 4: Germination and growth

• The seeds will germinate within 5-10 days.
• You can start harvesting young leaves when they reach a length of 7-10 cm.

Step 5: Maintenance and Harvesting

• Regular but moderate watering to keep the leaves fresh.
• Repeated harvesting: The leaves can be pruned to a height of about 2 cm above the ground, and they will regrow.
• To ensure a continuous supply, it is recommended to sow a new crop every two weeks.
