Detailed Planting Guide

  1. Sowing time: Sow after last frost when soil temperature stabilizes above 18℃. Stagger sowing batches for successive harvest.
  2. Sowing method: Direct‑sow 2‑3 seeds per hole, sowing depth 3‑4 cm. Space plants 35‑45 cm apart, row spacing 70‑80 cm. Plant in multi‑row blocks for better wind pollination.
  3. Soil: Full‑sun location with fertile, well‑drained soil rich in organic compost.
  4. Water & fertilizer: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during silking and cob formation. Apply balanced base fertilizer, supplement nitrogen fertilizer in seedling phase.
  5. Isolation reminder: Isolate from sweet corn or field corn to avoid cross‑pollination affecting waxy texture.
  6. Harvest: Harvest 20‑24 days after silk emergence when kernels are full and milky‑waxy.

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 does waxy corn lose its sticky texture? A: Cross‑pollination with ordinary corn will dilute glutinous traits; keep proper planting distance. Q: When is the perfect harvest window? A: Harvest 20‑24 days after silks appear; over‑mature cobs turn tough. Q: Can I save seeds from harvested cobs? A: For open‑pollinated varieties you can save seeds; hybrid seeds will not breed true.
