Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Provide full sun to light partial sun, especially in cool growing conditions.

Soil: Use loose, well-drained soil that allows the swollen root to develop freely.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged during germination and root development.

Sowing Depth: Surface sow or cover very lightly because maca seed is small.

Spacing: Thin seedlings to roughly four to six inches apart.

Germination: Cool, evenly moist conditions may support germination in about one to three weeks.

Harvesting Time: Harvest when roots have enlarged fully and foliage begins to decline naturally.

Days to Harvest: Maca is a slow crop and may require roughly four to six months or longer depending on conditions.

Plant Height: Foliage stays low and compact while the edible storage organ develops below ground.

Care Tips: Favor cool conditions, avoid waterlogging, and allow enough time for roots to size before harvest.
