Growing guide for Radish Scarlet Half Long Seeds
Planting instructions
Radish Scarlet Half Long can be grown directly in garden beds or deep containers. Sow seeds about 1.5 cm deep and maintain 5–7 cm distance between plants for proper root development. Ensure rows are spaced about 20 cm apart.
Growing Requirements
pests & diseases
Common issues include aphids, flea beetles, and root maggots. Practice crop rotation, ensure good air circulation, and use organic neem-based sprays to keep infestations under control.
soil
Prefers well-draining, loose, sandy loam soil rich in organic matter. Avoid compacted soil to allow straight and smooth root growth.
spot
Choose a sunny spot that receives at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Radishes can tolerate partial shade but grow best in bright light.
temperature
Best grown in temperatures ranging between 10°C to 25°C. Excess heat may cause bolting or spongy roots.
watering
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Light, regular watering ensures crisp, tender roots without cracks.
how to harvest
Harvest in 30–35 days after sowing when roots are firm and about 10 cm long. Gently pull them from moist soil. Enjoy fresh in salads, lightly pickled, or sautéed with spices for a quick side dish. The mild heat and crunchy texture complement Indian, Asian, and European recipes alike.
