How to sow orache successfully under cover?
To grow orache, we recommend sowing under cover in spring, around April. The seeds can be sown in pots or trays filled with light potting soil. Firm the soil and water lightly after sowing. Place the containers near a window to benefit from natural light.
It is important to maintain a constant temperature of around 20°C to encourage germination. Keep the potting mix moist but not waterlogged, watering regularly with room‑temperature water. Once the seedlings reach a few centimetres in height, they can be transplanted outdoors or into pots.
Be careful not to overwater to avoid root rot. Also avoid exposing young plants to intense direct sun to prevent thermal shock. By following these tips, you can successfully grow orache naturally.
