Detailed Planting Guide

  1. Sowing time: Best sown in early spring (after soil workable) or late summer for autumn harvest. Avoid extreme hot summer.
  2. Sowing method: Sow seeds shallowly, cover with 5–8 mm of fine soil. Keep soil consistently moist during germination.
  3. Soil requirement: Deep, loose, stone-free, well-drained sandy loam. Heavy or stony soil causes deformed or forked roots.
  4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 5–8 cm spacing once they develop 2–3 true leaves, allowing room for root expansion.
  5. Growing condition: Full sun location. Maintain even soil moisture; avoid sudden heavy watering after dry period which may split roots.
  6. Fertilizer: Apply balanced fertilizer at early growth stage. Avoid excessive nitrogen which promotes leafy growth over root development.
  7. Harvest: Pull roots when they reach desired size and color, typically 70–90 days after sowing.

Packaging & Shipping: Sealed moisture-proof inner bag preserves seed vitality. Outer shock-absorbing packaging protects seeds from squeezing and dampness during international transit.

FAQ Q: Why do my carrot roots split? A: Uneven watering—dry soil followed by heavy watering causes rapid root expansion and cracking. Maintain consistent moisture.

Q: Why are roots short or deformed? A: Compact, stony or heavy clay soil restricts root growth. Use deep loose soil for best results.

Q: Can I grow this carrot in containers? A: Use deep containers (at least 30 cm deep) with loose well-drained soil to accommodate the long root type.

Q: When is the best time to harvest? A: Harvest when roots reach 25–30 cm and show full bright red color; younger roots are tender, mature roots have fuller flavor.
