What Customers Say

Why Mustard Greens Need Specialized Nutrients

Mustard greens require specialized nutrients such as sulfur, which enhances their distinctive flavor profile and supports the formation of crucial compounds like glucosinolates. Additionally, they benefit from adequate levels of calcium for strong cell walls and magnesium for chlorophyll synthesis.

Watering

Ensure consistent moisture by watering deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Light

To promote vigorous growth, place in a location with full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily.

Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil amended with compost to support healthy root development.

Additional Tips

Regularly harvest outer leaves to encourage continuous growth and prevent bitterness in mustard greens.
