Laal Saag Seeds Growing laal saag (red amaranth or red spinach) from seed is relatively easy and can be done in gardens, pots, or containers. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Laal Saag Seeds 1. Seed Selection

• Choose good quality laal saag seeds from a trusted source. Amaranth seeds are tiny, so handle them carefully.

2. Prepare the Soil

• Laal saag thrives in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.
• Loosen the soil to a depth of about 6 inches and mix in compost or well-rotted manure to ensure nutrients and good drainage.

3. Sowing the Seeds

• Direct Sowing:
  • Scatter the seeds thinly over the prepared soil surface. The seeds are very small, so you don’t need to bury them deep.
  • Gently cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil or compost (about 1/4 inch).
• Spacing:
  • If sowing in rows, space the rows about 10-12 inches apart.

4. Watering

• Water the soil gently but thoroughly after sowing.
• Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Use a fine spray to avoid disturbing the tiny seeds.

5. Sunlight & Temperature

• Laal saag prefers warm weather and plenty of sunlight. It grows best in temperatures between 18-30°C (65-85°F).
• Choose a spot that gets 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

6. Thinning

• Once the seedlings are about 2-3 inches tall, thin them out if they are too close together. You want to leave about 4-6 inches between plants so they have space to grow.

7. Fertilizing

• Amaranth doesn’t need much fertilization if the soil is rich, but you can add a balanced fertilizer (like 10-10-10) every 3-4 weeks for better growth.

8. Harvesting

• Laal saag is ready to harvest in about 25-40 days, depending on the variety.
• You can either harvest young leaves as needed or pull up the entire plant once it matures.
• For continuous harvest, you can cut the leaves, leaving the base, and the plant will regrow.
