1、 Planting time

Amaranth can be planted in spring or autumn, preferably around March to April in spring, because the temperature at this time will help to germinate seedlings. The relative temperature in the South can be measured in early March; It is best to wait until April in the north. If it is planted in a greenhouse, it is usually carried out one month in advance

2、 Planting method

1. Soil selection: it has good adaptability to growth and has no high requirements for soil. However, in order to make it grow better, try to choose the soil with strong drainage capacity, and break up large pieces of granular soil before planting

2. Seed selection: seeds can be sown directly after purchase. It is best to promote germination before sowing, so that its emergence rate will be higher. Soak the bought seeds in warm water for 4-5 hours, then take them out, mix clean fine sand, and stir them evenly

3. Sowing: sow the seed in the soil and cover it with a layer of fine soil with a thickness of 0.5cm without watering it. It will sprout in about 3 days. Untreated seeds will not germinate until a week
