- Mustard greens thrive in loose, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Adding compost, vermiculite, and perlite can improve soil structure and drainage.
- They need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
- Sow the seeds on the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist until seeds germinate.
- Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin them to about 10 – 20cm apart.
- Can be successfully grown in containers as well.
