Sow seeds indoors or directly in the garden after the last frost, pressing them lightly into moist soil. Keep the soil consistently wet, as Water Spinach thrives in boggy conditions. For best results, grow in a sunny location with rich, organic soil or in a container filled with water and mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater Spinach requires abundant moisture; do not let the soil dry out. Fertilize lightly with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to encourage leafy growth. Harvest young shoots regularly to promote branching and continuous production. Watch for common pests like aphids and caterpillars, and manage them with organic methods as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e120pcs Water Spinach 'Kong Xin Cai' Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836003516726,"sku":"FOLIA2-1665","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6753509498_d2ps.jpg?v=1793097100","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/water-spinach-seeds-120pcs-kong-xin-cai-fast-growing-asian-green-non-gmo-heirloom","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
