Spinach Seedling, 10pcs

Spinach seedlings can be harvested in as little as 4 to 6 weeks after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest the outer leaves when they are large enough to use, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing for subsequent harvests.

Spinach seedlings prefer full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. Provide them with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If growing indoors, place them near a bright, indirect light source or provide them with 10-12 hours of light under a growth light.

Choose a well-draining, fertile soil for your spinach seedlings. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 to support healthy growth.

Keep the soil consistently moist for spinach seedlings. Regular watering is essential, especially during hot and dry periods. Ensure the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage and minimize the risk of fungal issues.

Spinach seedlings benefit from nutrient-rich soil. Prior to planting, incorporate a balanced fertilizer into the soil following the recommended application rates. As the seedlings grow, you can top-dress them with compost or apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to provide ongoing nourishment.

Regularly monitor the Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH levels of the nutrient solution. Spinach seedlings prefer an EC range between 1.2 to 2.0 mS/cm and a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Adjust the nutrient solution as needed to maintain these levels throughout the growth cycle.

Keep an eye out for common pests that affect spinach, such as aphids, leafminers, and flea beetles. Regularly inspect your spinach seedlings and implement appropriate pest control measures as needed.

Spinach prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather. Consider using shade cloth or planting them in a location that provides some protection from intense afternoon sun.
