Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation: No special preparation is needed; ensure seeds are stored in a cool, dry place until planting.

Sowing: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep during the spring, after the danger of frost has passed.

Germination: Seeds typically germinate within 10-15 days under optimal conditions (70-85°F or 21-29°C). Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

Transplanting: Transplant seedlings once they have developed 2-3 sets of leaves and the soil has warmed. Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for proper growth.

Care and Maintenance:

• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Yacon benefits from regular watering during dry periods.
• Use mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting:

• Yacon can be harvested 7-9 months after planting, typically in late fall when the tops begin to die back. The rhizomes can be dug up and stored for later use.

Happy Gardening! Enjoy growing the nutritious and versatile Yacon plant!
