PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSSow seeds ¼ inches deep in a good potting mix or soil.Leave 2 inches of space between each plant while sowing seeds. They'll sprout quickly and you'll see seedlings within 2 – 4 daysGROWING REQUIREMENTSWATERINGMake sure that the soil is evenly moist. In case of excess water, make sure it does not stay and drains away quickly.PESTSThe crop might show symptoms of discoloration of vine at soil line. Leaves may wilt and fall from plant. Small soft bodied insects on underside of leaves and/or stems of plant; usually green, yellow or white in colour, leave powdery spots on leaves which expand over time. The pests that attack this crop are Aphids, Powdery Mildew, Charcoal Rot, Root Rot.SOILFenugreek prefers neutral soil with pH level around 6 – 7. Loamy soils are best suited for its cultivation.SPOTAn area with full sun, but partial shade or even filtered sunlight will also work.TEMPERATUREFenugreek grows well in warm and hot climate, when temperature ranges from 10 C to 32 C (50 to 90 F ).HOW TO HARVESTThe harvesting method will vary depending on whether you're trying to get leaves or seeds from your fenugreek plant.For leaves, cut the plant at the stem a few centimeters above the soil.For seeds, wait for the pods on the plant to turn yellow, signalling that they've fully ripened, and harvest the seeds before the pod pops open.
