Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Early Summer: Plant after the last frost, when the soil temperature is above 60°F (15°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep.
- Spacing: Space seeds 6-8 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.
- Light: Prefers full sun for best growth and kernel development.
- Soil: Best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level of 6.0-6.8.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the flowering and ear development stages. Avoid sogginess.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer when planting, and apply compost or organic matter when the plants reach about 12 inches tall.
- Pollination: Plant in blocks for optimal pollination, as Mini Blue Popcorn is wind-pollinated.
- Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids and corn earworms. Use natural methods such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth to control pests.
Harvesting
- Maturity Time: Mini Blue Popcorn matures in 90-100 days.
