White Radish Seeds – Long, Sun 400 & F1 for Home Gardens | 300 Seeds

Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil mixed with compost or well-rotted organic manure. A pH range of 6.0–7.5 works best.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly into soil or grow bags at a depth of 1.5–2 cm, as radish does not transplant well.
3. Spacing: Maintain 8–10 cm spacing between plants after thinning to give roots enough room to develop long and straight.
4. Watering: Water consistently every 2 days, keeping soil evenly moist; irregular watering can cause roots to crack, fork, or turn woody.
5. Sunlight: Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy root development.
6. Thinning: Thin seedlings early, once they reach 4–5 cm, to the recommended spacing — this step is critical to avoid forked or twisted roots.
7. Fertilizing: Apply a light dose of organic compost every 2–3 weeks; avoid excess nitrogen, which favors leaf growth over root development.
8. Pest Management: Watch for aphids and flea beetles. Use neem oil spray and maintain loose, well-drained soil to deter pests.
9. Harvesting: Ready to harvest in 40–50 days, once roots reach full length and 3–4 cm in diameter. Gently loosen soil before pulling roots.
10. Harvest Tip: Harvest promptly once roots mature, as overly mature radish can become pithy, woody, and overly pungent.
