Plant Care

Watering

Wet the seed starting mix. Push your finger into the soil to your first knuckle and make sure it is damp. Excess water should drain through.

Light

Indirect sunlight, 6 to 8 hours

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

Fertilizer

Provide fertilizer once the first true leaves emerge. The first set of leaves that appear are known as the seed leaves. The second set of leaves are the first ‘true leaves,’ and a sign that your plant is getting mature and ready for serious growth. Dilute a balanced fertilizer to ¼ the strength recommended. Fertilize once in 2 weeks.

Product Bio

Sowing and Germination Care for Rocca Rocket Seeds:

Seed Selection: Choose high-quality Rocca Rocket (Arugula) seeds from a reputable supplier for better germination rates.

Sowing Time: Rocca Rocket is a cool-season crop. Sow seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer when temperatures are between 45-75°F (7-24°C). For continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Sowing Method: Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing weeds. Sow seeds 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep and 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart in rows spaced 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and water gently.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically occurs within 5-10 days. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.

Growing Conditions:

Sunlight: Rocca Rocket prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Amend the soil with compost to improve fertility and structure.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Water at the base to keep foliage dry and reduce disease risk.

Temperature: Best growth occurs in cool temperatures between 45-75°F (7-24°C). In warmer climates, provide some afternoon shade.

Fertilization: Rocca Rocket generally doesn't require heavy fertilization. If needed, use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at planting time.

Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for pests like flea beetles and aphids. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow Rocca Rocket and enjoy its peppery, nutritious leaves.
