Full Product Description

Amaranth (Amaranthus) belongs to the Amaranth‑family annual herb. The plant bears thick stems, broad oval‑shaped leaves and dense spike‑shaped flower clusters. Leaf‑cultivar amaranth is widely planted as summer‑season green‑leaf vegetable, while grain‑type amaranth yields nutrient‑rich tiny seeds and ornamental kinds bring bright‑coloured foliage.

All seeds go through strict screening to discard mouldy and damaged grains. Plenty of sunlight speeds‑up foliage growth. Loose fertile well‑drained soil can greatly boost leaf output.

Packaging & Storage Notice

Small‑sized amaranth seeds are sealed inside thick moisture‑proof bags. Outer carton packaging stops seed loss and breakage during transportation.

Keep seed packets away from high‑temperature surroundings, humid air and long‑time direct sunlight. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and store in cool, dry and well‑ventilated indoor spaces.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow from late spring to summer, when the ground temperature stays above 20℃. The suitable growing temperature ranges 20℃‑35℃. Low‑temperature conditions will restrain seed germination.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in clean room‑temperature water for 4‑8 hours
Discard floating inactive seeds
Place soaked seeds on damp cloth for pre‑sprouting to shorten the germination period

Soil Requirement

Clear away weeds and stones, deeply loosen planting soil. Fertile loose loam mixed with organic compost works best. Add diluted nitrogen‑rich fertiliser to promote leaf growth.

Sowing Operation

Spread seeds thinly on the soil surface and cover them with 0.5‑1 cm thin‑layer soil. Keep proper spacing after seedling emergence for branch‑and‑leaf expansion. No bracket support is needed.

Germination & Seedling Care

Maintain slight soil moisture. Healthy amaranth seeds germinate within 3‑7 days under warm‑temperature environments. Thin over‑crowded seedlings regularly and remove weeds.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Provide 6‑8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Keep soil moist, drain accumulated water to avoid root rot. Apply diluted liquid fertiliser after every leaf‑picking. Harvest tender upper leaves when plants reach 15‑25 cm in height.

Seed Storage & Package

Moisture‑proof sealed packaging protects seeds from dampness, mould and shipping‑caused damage.

Store spare seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and ventilated locations. Refrigerated storage retains seed vitality. Stay away from hot‑humid surroundings. Complete sowing within three‑month storage for optimal germination‑rate results.
