Watercress today is popular not only because of its interesting appearance – it is very easy to grow. In addition, gourmets love this green because of its interesting and unusual taste with a slight bitterness.<\/p>\n
Watercress can be grown all year round – and for this it will be enough to sow the seeds on a damp cloth.<\/p>\n
Usually, the seeds are sown thickly in a shallow container, lightly sprinkled with earth and pressed down. Already in two weeks, you can cut the first harvest with scissors. The plants do not regenerate, but as they are cut, the green seeds are sown again.
\nSeedlings for salad can be obtained more easily and quickly. Seeds are poured onto wet filter paper or gauze. On the third to sixth day, the product can be added to meals.<\/p>\n
Watercress care is minimal: providing good lighting, without additional lighting, and maintaining a temperature of +20\u00b0C. Watering is frequent and abundant in hot, dry weather, otherwise the flower-bearing stem will quickly form, the leaves will become smaller and coarser.<\/p>\n
The Watercress requires feeding, because the growing season of watercress is short. Urea or other complex mineral fertilizer is used for this purpose.<\/p>\n
The most greenery can be obtained in August – from 200 to 500 g per square.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
