When selecting seeds, it is best to look at the date of production one day later and choose seeds from the current year’s time period.

If the seeds are from last year, it may affect the germination rate and its quality. Considering the limited space in the pot, you can also choose smaller radish, such as fruit radish, cherry radish and so on.

However, if the pot is large, you can also plant large radish varieties.

POT OR CONTAINER

Prepare pots and soil, there is no special requirement for soil, ordinary garden soil with some coarse sand will do.

Considering the later nutrition, you can put some organic fertilizer in the bottom of the pot as the base fertilizer. The best choice is to choose a deeper pot, more than 30CM(11.8 inch) depth is better.

When sowing seeds, the seeds should not be too dense, but the seedlings can be inter-planted after germination.

Some vegetable lovers transplant the radish seedlings to other places, but this is not suitable, radish is not suitable for transplanting.

Water well. The next time is to wait. Usually they will germinate in a week or so.

Although it looks delicate, some seem to have not yet grown true leaves, and the growth rate at the beginning is really slow, do not be anxious, you can apply some organic fertilizer every week, thin fertilizer diligently, the later will grow faster.

If the seeds are too dense at the time of sowing, you will need to interplant and pull out some of the smaller seedlings.

If there are too many seedlings, you can throw away the leaves of those seedlings that have not grown radish.

Tips
While the leaves are growing, the roots underneath are gaining momentum and growing gradually.

If the seedlings are growing and the roots are thin or even more exposed to the outside, you can add a little soil to cover it. Do not move it.

After the interplanting process, fertilizer is also applied, so at this time the nutrition keeps up, and gradually the radish grows out, and it will be harvested soon.
