Harvesting

Pick young leaves when the plants reaching 15 cm height, about 3-4 weeks after seeding. Don't harvest more than 1/3 of the leaves at a time.

Care
  • Prefer cooler weather. 15-21 °C. Will bolt if it gets too dry or too hot.
  • Full sun to partial shade. 6 hours of direct sunlight, but avoid harsh sunlight for too long. Will cause bolting.
  • Moist but not soggy. Will cause bolting.
    • Do not like high humidity or too much rain.
  • Fertilizer is not necessary, but if wanted, once a month. Date: 3 Feb
  • Pruning: pretty much by harvesting is enough.
