Light: Amaranth likes warmth, so it should be given ample sunlight during planting. Insufficient light will cause slow growth. Moisture: Keep the soil moist at ordinary times. When the temperature is relatively low, control the amount of watering. Soil: It is best to choose flat, well-drained and irrigated sandy loam soil that is very fertile. Temperature: It is relatively heat-resistant. The suitable temperature for its growth is around 23~27℃. It will grow slowly below 20℃.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Lighting: During the growth period, amaranth must be given enough sunlight, so that it will grow fast, otherwise it will grow slowly, so the lighting conditions must be Indispensable.

2. Moisture: In spring and summer, the temperature is relatively low, so the amount of water should be controlled to make the soil slightly moist. In summer, the temperature is relatively high, so it needs to be watered frequently. Once water is lost, its roots will die and its leaves will turn yellow.

3. Soil: There is no strict selection of soil. Requirements, generally choose relatively fertile soil, and it must also have good drainage.

4. Temperature: Its habit is to tolerate heat, and it will go dormant in winter. The suitable temperature for growth should be 23~27℃. Growth will be slow below 20℃, and seeds will have difficulty germinating below 10℃.

2. Breeding skills

1 . Sowing: It only takes 3 to 5 days for amaranth to sprout in summer and autumn. After the new seedlings appear, weeds should be removed in time. In addition, you need to fertilize it, ensure that the soil moisture is not lost, and choose relatively fertile soil for sowing. If the soil is not chosen well, it will be difficult to grow.

2. Summer: In summer, you need to use something similar to a sunshade net to shade. Cover it during the day and uncover it at night to create a moderate temperature environment that is conducive to the growth of amaranth. Water appropriately, but not too much, which will cause waterlogging and death of the roots.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 , Yellow leaves: When many people grow amaranth, the leaves will turn yellow. It is usually caused by too much water, which causes root damage and yellow leaves. As long as you pay more attention to it, it can grow well.

2. Root rot: The main damage to amaranth is at the base of the stem. The diseased plant looks wilted due to lack of water, and the root cortex rots and falls off, making it impossible to grow new roots. You should water less frequently and avoid any water accumulation.

IV. Other questions

1 . Whether it can be cultivated indoors: Amaranth can be cultivated indoors and can be grown on the balcony. Sow seeds in March-April and they will soon grow vigorously.

2. Is it toxic? It is not toxic, but amaranth is very susceptible to bugs, so pesticides are needed to kill bugs and viral bacteria. Special attention should be paid to the fact that they must be cleaned after picking.
