20 Gr (7000 Seeds) Mix Amaranth Vietnamese Seeds (3 Color) for Planting, Mix Amaranth Seeds

1. Prepare Your Growing Space

Soil: Light, fertile, well-draining soil with pH 6.0–7.0

Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily)

Bed size:

For baby greens, ~100–150 sq ft

For mature plants, ~300–500 sq ft

Amend soil with compost or organic matter before planting.

2. Sowing Seeds

Seed size: Tiny seeds — mix with fine sand or dry soil for even distribution.

Planting depth: 1/8 inch (3 mm), just lightly covered.

Spacing:

For baby leaves: Broadcast thickly, thin to 1 inch apart after germination.

For mature plants: Sow in rows spaced 12–18 inches apart; thin seedlings to 6–10 inches apart in-row.

3. Watering and Care

Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) during germination and early growth.

Once established, moderate watering is enough but more water will boost leaf production.

Fertilize lightly with compost tea or diluted organic fertilizer every 2–3 weeks if needed.

Thin seedlings to avoid overcrowding.

4. Germination

Seeds sprout in 3–7 days at 70–90°F (21–32°C).

Use mulch or shade cloth to protect seedlings from harsh sun or soil drying.

5. Harvesting

Baby greens: Harvest at 3–5 inches tall (about 15–25 days).

Mature leaves: Harvest at 30–50 days by cutting tops or entire plants.

Amaranth regrows after cutting — you can get 2–3 harvests per sowing.

6. Pests & Problems

Watch for aphids and flea beetles; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Avoid overcrowding to reduce fungal and pest problems.

7. Uses & Storage

Use fresh in stir-fries, soups, salads, or smoothies.

Store in fridge for up to 5 days or blanch and freeze for long-term storage.

🌟 Tips:

Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Mix seeds well before sowing to get a beautiful blend of all three colors.

Redder colors develop best with plenty of sun and moderate nitrogen.
