About Radish Full Red Seeds

Red round radish — a small, crunchy red mooli, ready in 25–35 days, for salads.

• Botanical name: Raphanus sativus
• Care level: Easy
• Expected germination time: 3-6 days at 18-25C under suitable conditions*

How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 1–1.5 cm, sown directly.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 3-6 days at 18-25C.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Continuous light moisture — a dry spell makes it pungent and pithy.
• Soil: Loose, stone-free sandy loam; pH 6.0-7.0
• Temperature: 15-25C
• Fertiliser: Well-rotted compost at sowing. Excess nitrogen only grows leaves.

Sowing season in India

September–December in North India; February–March in the hills. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Harvested late it turns hollow and sharp. Overcrowding stops root formation — thinning is essential.
