• In spring, plant the radishes when the daily temperature ranges between 60°-65° F.

• If your soil is not healthy for planting, amend it with top fertile well-drained soil and also mix thoroughly Plantic Water Storing Hydro Crystals. These are micro-crystals which help prevent over and underwatering.
• After raising your bed richness, dig a suitable space for seedlings, and plant seeds 1 inch apart from one another. When the seedlings become one inch tall, thin them so that you have 2-3 inches between them.
• Before planting, make sure that you have removed all the weeds from their roots.
• After planting, give your plant a little drop of Plantic Organic StartDrop! Liquid plant food periodically. Specially formulated for starter plants, encourage rapid rooting and growth.

Start planting with seed

Once the temperature reaches between 60°F-65°F, start your plantation. Sow the seeds directly in the garden 6 weeks before the first fall or 3-4 weeks before the last spring frost. Make a space in soil bed which is perfect for the root ball and gives space for rooting. And then plant it. Fill in the area around the plant with topsoil mixture. After plantation, give your plants a boost of Plantic Organic StartDrop! Liquid fertilizer for better rooting and growth. After a month, when the soil lacks the key nutrients, feed your plants with Plantic Organic GreenDrop! Liquid fertilizer.

Note: Radishes spring variety takes 18-45 days to mature, and winter variety takes 45-70 days.

Give them care and leave room to grow

Sow the seeds 1 inch apart from one another and 1/2 inch deep for better growth. And once the seedlings reach an inch tall, thin them out so, the plants are 2-3 inches apart.

It’s your responsibility to prevent them from any alien species (weeds). Remove the weeds from roots so that it won’t come back again. Also, don’t forget to water your plants when they look upset or dry. Feed your plants with their favourite mulch - Plantic Organic! Fertilizer according to its label direction.
