3 Seedlings in 4" Pots

Endive

$9.95

3 seedlings, each in a 4" pot

GENERAL 
Days to Maturity: 45-50 days
Soil:
Fertile soil that drains well
Sun & Water:
Full sun (a bit of shade is OK) and moderate-to-generous water
Pests & Diseases:
Because endive grows close to the ground near moisture, it can be susceptible to mold and fungal issues. Keep an eye out for blight and damping off.

HOW TO GROW
Transplanting:  Dig a hole the size of the travel pot. Remove the plant from its travel pot and place in the hole.  Cover with soil.  Be sure to avoid getting soil on the leaves and the crown of the plant.
Spacing:
Plant your seedlings 12” apart

HARVESTING
Endive can be harvested whole. When the head has reached full size, cut it away from the roots a little above the ground with a serrated knife. 

Varieties May Include: Benefine

Here's what to expect

This purchase includes 3 individual seedlings, each in its own 4" travel pot. When they arrive, unpack them, stand them up, and lightly touch the top of the soil to check the moisture level. Water until the soil is moist but not drenched.

For the first 2 days, let the seedlings acclimate to the sun and fresh air in their travel pots outdoors. Give them 4-6 hours of sunlight and then place them in the shade for the remainder of the day. Check in on your seedlings every day to make sure their soil remains moist. Follow the transplanting instructions above when your seedling is ready for its new home.
