Planting & Care

Sow Minowase Daikon seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning seedlings to 6–12 inches apart to allow room for root development. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, as consistent moisture helps prevent bolting and ensures tender roots. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

For best results, grow in loose, deep soil free of rocks and clumps to accommodate the long roots. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can encourage excessive leaf growth at the expense of root formation. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 50–60 days after sowing. With proper care, Minowase Daikon can be a productive and satisfying addition to your garden.
