How to Grow BETAVE DETROIT DARK RED Seeds
Choose light, well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny location to optimize root color and size. Prepare the soil thoroughly and remove any stones that could hinder root formation.
Sow at a depth of about 1 to 2 cm, in rows or in groups, then thin out to leave enough space between plants. Recommended spacing between plants: about 7 to 10 cm; between rows: 25 to 30 cm depending on your setup. Keep the soil evenly moist without overwatering to prevent cracking and promote regular growth. Mulch or light cover to limit weeds and preserve soil moisture.
