Kangkong Seeds

Before planting the Kangkong seeds, soak them overnight to get germination done in 7 days instead of waiting 3 weeks. Then plant seeds  1 inch deep with a 6-inch distance between each plant. The soil temperature should be above 68°F. If you start Kangkong seeds indoors, you may find it useful to use a heating mat.

Ipomoea Aquatica plants must have at least 6 hours of full sunlight otherwise, their stems grow tall and leggy and cannot support themselves. Water Spinach seeds require a well-draining but constantly moist soil. If you let the soil dry out between watering, you lose its soft texture. Loamy soils are preferable, and for sandy soils, add compost to make them fertile.

Once established, Water Spinach grows fast — you can harvest the outer stalks and leaves regularly starting around 21–30 days; actually, the more you cut, the more the plant produces. Apply balanced fertilizer, particularly the one with nitrogen, every fortnight. Prune the growing tips for bushier plants. In containers, monitor moisture levels daily, especially during hot weather; pots tend to dry up quickly compared to beds.
