Planting & Care Instructions

1. Soil Preparation: Requires light, loose, well-draining sandy-loam soil free of stones or hard lumps to allow straight root growth. Potting mix: fine garden soil, cocopeat, and compost/vermicompost in equal parts. Maintain soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0.

2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly into final containers or garden beds 1 cm ($\frac{1}{2}$ inch) deep. Space seeds 3 to 4 inches apart in rows spaced 8–10 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist. (Avoid transplanting to prevent root malformation).

3. Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture. Inconsistent watering leads to woody, overly pungent, or cracked roots.

4. Spacing & Care: Thin young seedlings to 3–4 inches (8–10 cm) apart once they sprout to give roots adequate space to expand. Keep soil loose around the top. Feed with well-balanced organic compost every 2–3 weeks. Spray neem oil solution to protect against leaf miners and aphids.
