Have you ever wanted to grow some vegetables on your balcony? Spinach (菠菜) is a great choice. It grows easily all the year and it has many health benefits.
1. ______
Spinach can survive temperatures as low as -10℃, but that's not good for its growth. Spinach seeds sprout (发芽) best in soil between 15℃ and 20℃. Once the seeds have sprouted, the spinach plants grow best in daytime between 15℃ and 25℃.
2. ______
·Pot: A pot of 15 to 20 cm deep would be the best. Depending on your space, it can be as wide as you want. Make sure your pot has a hole at the bottom.
·Soil: For growing spinach in pots, use a mix rich in organic matter (有机物).
·Spacing: Give each spinach plant 7 cm of space. If you want to harvest (收获) large leaves, give each plant a little more space.
·Position: If you are growing spinach in the fall and winter, keep the plants in a sunny place. For spring and summer planting, place your plants in a cool place, especially in the afternoon.
3. ______
·Watering: Keep the soil a bit wet, but not too much. Avoid watering the leaves.
·Fertilising (施肥): To grow healthy spinach, you need to provide nitrogen (氮素).
