Guide to Growing Mustard Leaf Seeds (Baby)

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 moisture.

Step 2: Sowing

• Scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil at intervals of 2-3 cm.
• Cover with a thin layer of soil (about 0.5 cm).
• Water gently to maintain even moisture.

Step 3: Growing Conditions

• Mustard leaves like full sun but can also grow in partial shade.
• Soil should be kept moist but not flooded.
• Ideal growing temperature: 10-25°C.

Stage 4: Germination and growth

• The seeds will germinate within 5-10 days.
• When the seedlings reach a height of 5-7 cm, they can be thinned, leaving a space of 5-10 cm between the plants.

Step 5: Maintenance and Harvesting

• Moderate and regular watering to prevent drying out.
• You can start harvesting young ("baby") leaves when they reach a length of 10-15 cm.
• Picking the leaves encourages new growth and can last for several weeks.
