Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successfully growing green leaf mustard seeds is straightforward with proper care. Begin by preparing your soil. Mustard greens thrive in fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Till the soil to about 15-20 cm deep and incorporate compost or well-rotted organic matter to enrich it. Ensure the garden bed receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth, though they can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.

For baby greens, broadcast the mustard seeds for planting evenly over the prepared bed and cover lightly with 0.5-1 cm of soil. For mature plants, sow seeds 1 cm deep, spacing them 10-15 cm apart in rows that are 20-30 cm apart. Thin seedlings to one plant per spot after germination to allow for proper development. Consistent watering is crucial; keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy, especially during germination and dry periods. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, as it can promote lush leaf growth without enhancing flavor. Apply a light organic fertilizer or compost tea every 2-3 weeks if desired. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and flea beetles, and use organic solutions like neem oil or row covers if necessary. Practicing crop rotation can help prevent disease buildup and ensure a healthy crop of grow mustard greens.
